I would buy IronWolf drives.do I buy 2 WD reds or 2 Ironwolf's
I lost all trust for WD after they got caught lying about their drive speed and then when they changed their smaller size WD Red drives from CMR drive to SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) without telling anyone. The result of the SMR deception was WD changing the name from WD Red to WD Red Plus and stating which drives were SMR. Now all WD Red Plus drives are CMR and the drive speeds in the specs are real... but with their track record I wouldn't be surprised if there's another scandal in future.
FYI 10TB WD Red drives are loud. The larger and smaller sizes are quiet.
