What to look for in a 16 TB drive

  • Dual-stage actuators and cache sizes on newer flagship models.
  • NAS firmware vs desktop firmware on the same platter stack.
  • Power supply sizing when twelve 16 TB drives spin up together.
  • Acoustic management when the NAS sits in living-room furniture.
