I understand why WD Blue and Barracuda HDD shouldn't be used for NAS or 24/7 surveillance, I find why it's not recommended to use WD Red or an Ironwolf hd for basic computing? *

specifically a 4tb SG Ironwolfis $79.99 and SG Barracuda $78.99. same rpm and same cache size.

I was just looking for a 4tb non-smr drive, Ironwolf is the cheapest option locally.

*I'm using it to back pictures, movies, and on occasion installing steam games that are too big to go onto my OS's SSD (just a that need150gb+)
