Hi everyone, I am currently looking for a new hard drive to add to my media server and want to buy a 20TB drive. Now the question is what manufacturers would you recommend or avoid?
As far as I can see it’s either Toshiba, Seagate or WD.

I went with the Seagate Exos X20. That was three months ago, and so far so good. A lot of reviews said it was super noisy, but I haven’t noticed much difference between it and other hard drives. It’s a bit more noisy when it spins up, but then it’s fine.
It just sits in a server at my in laws’ house and backs up the RAID array at my house, so it’s basically always writing data, but at throttled network speeds (~2MBps).
That’s what I’m going with I guess. Thanks
