Western Digital introduces WD Red Pro 20TB hard drive for NAS systems – Computer – News

Yes, but the question is how long a normal hard drive can last compared to a hard drive made for people

And not every hard drive works with other hard drives,

Vibration sensors also do not apply to normal hard disks,

Regular hard disks are not suitable for 24/7 use,

Others say you know why they don’t use regular hard drives in the enterprise world,

On my old DS211j, I had at least 10j + condensedly two 2TB WD Greens, not drives with flawless behavior.
(I wasn’t the only one by the way)

There are not necessarily vibration sensors, but the read / write head suffers from vibration, every hard drive in the end has that to a greater or lesser degree

Regular HDD -> See my comment about NAS, more than ten years, minimal sleep due to server tasks

Others say you know why they don’t use regular hard drives in the enterprise world,

This was done too… I’ve seen backup solutions where they swap out standard 2.5″ USB drives every day.

In fact, there is very little difference (in cost) between an enterprise vs a desktop hard drive
Nowadays, if you open an outer dwelling, WDred often has it as well
Seagate does this too, with two 6TB containers holding Seagate Skyhawk hard drives (usually especially for video systems).
