Just get the original: Seagate Exos. With a MTBF of 2.5 Mio hours, they are twice as „good“ as Ironwolfs.
Probably identical to a Seagate Exos with a 400% Dell Markup
If it's anything like Dell, they've taken something and made it worse. Wouldnt surprise me if they reduced the read rate or something similar to make them cooler
They are reliable as other enterprise drives from WD and Toshiba. Really not much to say here, check also if they have valid warranty.
Latest Backblaze stats have entered the chat.
You won't see any difference and it's not really applicable on the personal usage. You are not going to have the amount of drives they use, that's why.

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
