Get the NAS models. Those have the best lifespan and performance measurements. Everything else is a meme or targetted at data centers.

I'd rather have a single platter tb drive vs a double platter drive.

No one cares what you would prefer. The simple fact remains that the number of relevant moving parts remains the same regardless of the number of platters.

Deskstar? aka Deathstar? NAS drives is meant for RAID/NAS builds, I'm not using a RAID/NAS build.

Regardless of there intended use. they are better built drives. I would use NAS drives is a normal desktop just for the better reliability.

>>61731175
You mouthbreathing retard, a NAS drives causes more harms because of the error recovery time if it's used in a normal desktop.

I repeat, DO NOT kill yourself.
