Interesting that you prefer Seagate. I’ve had two Seagates fail on me in the past few years.
Yeah it makes sense, the drive needs to be fast enough not to choke on the data rate coming from the scanner. The only issue I have with the Seagate is that it only has a 3 year warranty, WD Gold drives have a 5 year warranty. Still though on price comparison it can’t be beaten.
Ironwolf drives are on special this week:
