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.

LoL I'm trying to figure this out too. I found server part deals.

But I don't have the whole setup figured out yet. I have my jellyfin media drive in just an external enclosure and is just an 8tb which is backed up (sorta not really) on a couple 4tb external drives I have that I copy stuff too and from. Don't even have a backup of my PC but that's cause it really doesn't take much to re set it back up from scratch and I have a second PC running the proxy and stuff...

I'm definitely not the best at this and just accept that I'm doing more than average and nowhere near the people who have this all figured out.
