I ordered a QNAP TS-873A and I'm looking to pick up 8x drives. These two are around 1000RMB (142 USD). I was planning on 18TB but they are 1300 each. This is primarily a plex server, so it will be 99% video content.
Which of these two drives is better for my NAS?
  • 16TB Seagate EXOS ST16000NM001G
  • 16TB WD Ultrastar DC HC550 WUH721816ALE6L4

I’ve always been a fan of the ultrastars we have a bunch of the 8 TB helium drives and haven’t lost one.
 
For the failure rate - WD is way better, but warranty on Seagate and data recovery coverage wins.
