Need to expand local storage for local media streaming. Running a regular desktop on linux.

I am willing to spend money on “the best” for streaming purpose while and hopefully something I can keep reusing down the road if it lasts.

    Used to run over 40 drives. Backblaze pointed out those Toshiba’s. Man they do not die.

      Had (and probably have it somewhere) a 2TB Toshiba drive for +5 years in my desktop as a games and programs data grave. Never once had an issue.
      My current NAS drives are also Toshiba helium filled drives and though loud are okayish under light read operations.
