class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/749487\/best-external-hard-drives\/\">hard drives and solid state drives continue to dominate the market, network-attached storage (NAS) is quickly becoming a popular solution for small businesses and folks seeking a connected home office.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of having files and data stored locally on your computer, they\u2019re stored in a hard drive connected to a network\u2014which is made accessible to any permitted user within that network. It\u2019s an elegant solution for folks who need access to files on multiple devices or if several people in the same building want to store data in a centralized location.<\/p>\n<p>After selecting a NAS station that will house all your NAS hard drives, you\u2019ll be faced with your next big decision\u2014which hard drives are right for you?<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Select Hard Drives for Your Home NAS<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Capacity\"><\/span>Capacity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first thing you\u2019ll need to determine is how much capacity you need. This refers to the amount of storage available on the hard drive. Most homes should be perfectly served by 1TB or 2TB hard drives, but if you\u2019re a power user, you might want to invest in something larger.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re regularly working with sizable projects or in a creative capacity requiring hefty image and video files, consider springing for a larger hard drive.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Workload_Rate\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Workload Rate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Capacity isn\u2019t the only thing to worry about. You\u2019ll also need to consider something known as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/832299\/what-is-workload-rate-in-hard-drives\/\">workload rate. This is the amount of data you can transfer to and from the hard drive without impacting its reliability. In other words, some hard drives are designed to withstand a lot of data transfer, while others aren\u2019t quite up to the task.<\/p>\n<p>The exact definition of workload rate tends to vary by manufacturer. But if you and your fellow network users are constantly uploading and downloading data from your NAS, then the workload rate is something to keep a close eye on.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the best NAS hard drives, it\u2019s hard to beat Western Digital and Seagate. The two companies are undoubtedly the best in the business, and we recommend sticking with their catalogs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What Is a &#8220;Surveillance&#8221; or &#8220;NAS&#8221; Hard Drive?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Seagate-IronWolf-Internal-Hard-Drive\/dp\/B084ZV1DN8?tag=lsmedia-11508-20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-841510 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/p-badge\/841510\/a4291ed2d4947372dd2741c9a0f6e5a6.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Seagate IronWolf Pro on blue background\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-credittext=\"Seagate\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Seagate<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<div class=\"procon_list\">\n<div>\nPros<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"greentext\">\u2713<\/span> Reasonable price<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"greentext\">\u2713<\/span> Compatible with most NAS systems<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"greentext\">\u2713<\/span> IronWolf Health Management System<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nCons<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"maroontext\">\u2717<\/span> 300TB\/year workload rate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Seagate-IronWolf-Internal-Hard-Drive\/dp\/B084ZV1DN8?tag=lsmedia-11508-20\">Seagate IronWolf Pro<\/a> stands out from the pack of similar NAS storage solutions thanks to its reasonable price, reliable <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.seagate.com\/internal-hard-drives\/hdd\/ironwolf\/health\/\">management system<\/a> to monitor the health of your drive, and impressive read\/write speeds.<\/p>\n<p>Although the IronWolf Pro drive provides speeds up to 214MB\/s, the drive remains surprisingly quiet while in use.

You\u2019ll find it offered in various capacities, but the 4TB model should be more than enough for personal use. Better yet, it comes in at around $80.<\/p>\n<p>Considering that low price point, you\u2019re getting some great functionality. This includes support for up to eight bays, hardware designed to run 24\/7, and a three-year limited warranty to put your mind at ease. You can also find a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08V13TGP4?tag=lsmedia-11508-20\">14TB<\/a> version if you need heaps of storage.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, that $80 price tag for the 4TB model has some limitations. For one, it only offers a 180TB\/year workload rate. This should be enough for personal setups with only a few connected users. But if you\u2019re purchasing a hard drive for your small businesses or need to move large piles of data, you should maybe look elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a bit slower than the competition, with data transfer rates around 175MB\/s.<\/p>\n<p>Shortcomings aside, few NAS options in this price range match this hard drive\u2019s performance. If you\u2019re on a budget (or don\u2019t necessarily want to spring for the \u201cbest of the best\u201d), this is a perfectly serviceable option.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box noflex-desktop \">\nBest Value NAS Hard Drive<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-img \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08VH8C3WZ?tag=lsmedia-11508-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41ELtDezxgL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"123px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-title \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop for Western Digital Red Plus 4TB NAS\" aria-label=\"Shop for Western Digital Red Plus 4TB NAS\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08VH8C3WZ?tag=lsmedia-11508-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Western_Digital_Red_Plus_4TB_NAS\"><\/span>Western Digital Red Plus 4TB NAS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"product-features\">It&#8217;s a bit slower than the competition and only offers a 180TB\/year workload rate, but the Red Plus is an excellent option for personal NAS setups.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Seagate-IronWolf-Internal-Hard-Drive\/dp\/B09WCSKLM3?tag=lsmedia-11508-20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-841509 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/p-badge\/841509\/508fc2da98a58d949d147b21e0766b36.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Ironwolf NAS HDD on table\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-credittext=\"Ironwolf\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Ironwolf<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<div class=\"procon_list\">\n<div>\nPros<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"greentext\">\u2713<\/span> Three-year warranty<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"greentext\">\u2713<\/span> IronWolf Health Management System<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"greentext\">\u2713<\/span> 180MB\/s transfer speeds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nCons<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"maroontext\">\u2717<\/span> Compatible with up to eight-bay NAS systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a high-capacity NAS hard drive, the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Seagate-IronWolf-Internal-Hard-Drive\/dp\/B09WCSKLM3?tag=lsmedia-11508-20\">Seagate IronWolf 18TB<\/a> is an excellent choice.
