Which of these 10tb enterprise-class HDDs should I pick?

It's time to expand the NAS. I've got 6 bays, all in-use, so I need to go with large drives. Does anyone have some feedback about these drives, or alternatives? Any comments much appreciated.

We use WD Gold for production use at work. No issues so far.

My personal preference is WD and my experience with their NAS/server drives (RED in particular) has been good to date.

There isn't much useful data on 10TB in particular, but Backblaze's site gives an excellent roundup on what reliability you can expect from the models they use... seems the seagate 10TB model they use is quite good.

Also worth a thought... where is this NAS? and is power, noise or heat a consideration?

If it's at home and you are concerned about any of those things, it should be said that WD Gold drives spin at 7200RPM and consume almost double the wattage compared to the WD Red drives (which spin at 5400RPM)... more watts and faster spin = more heat and noise.

I have a set of 8 10TB WD Reds in my main system (see sig.) which have performed well so far (about 6 months, no failures).

Also... speed... if that's a primary concern, go Gold, if not Reds are just fine, but not quite as fast for data transfer.

I have Ironwolf 10TB, not Ironwolf Pro, but I have had absolutely nothing but headaches with them in my FreeNAS system and I definitely do not recommend them.

For those reasons I actually would prefer 5400rpm drives, but the RED drives have a URE of 1/10^14, so a 10tb drive is likely to encounter a URE during a resliver. (WD RED Pro have a 10^15 but they are 7200rpm.) That's why I'm only looking at 10^15 drives, and it seems like all of those are 7200rpm in this size, which is a shame. On the other hand, I figure that the enterprise drives will have better vibration and heat tolerance so although it'll cost a few more pennies in electricity, hopefully the system overall will be fine.

If you're aware of a 10tb 10^15 5400rpm drive, though, please do let me know.
