Q: Need internal drive for my Mac Pro Mis-2012
For my Mac Pro mid-2012, 4 internal bays...
I need 2 internal replacement drives, no more space. A new main drive (bay1) and a duplicate drive (bay 2) to make mirror backups. I'm thinking Seagate Enterprise Capacity, 7200 rpm, 5 yr warranty, ST300NM0033 - because per Seagate they are business quality level: more rugged, less vibration & therefore quieter and lasting longer than typical home models like their Barracuda, hence the 5 vs 3 yr warranty.
I'm a single home user, but leave my computer on 24/7, so I love they designed for less vibration (all my 4 bays are filled), and withe more rugged design and less vibration, a longer run time. I don't Need the more expensive NAS raid version.
It seems ideal for reliability and 24/7 use and a step up from the Barracudas I've used for years, which then had 5 yr warranties, but are now only 3 years.
Can anyone recommend a better, more rugged, reliable, designed for 24/7 use, with 5 yr warranty, SATA internal drive?
THANKS!
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), 4-Core Mid 2012
