I don't know a whole lot about hard drives. The interwebs says it's ok but they also are trying to sell me a drive at the same time.

My current drive: 6TB WD60EZRX (used mostly for data backups). I've had the drive since ~2015...

Drive I'm looking at: 8TB Seagate ST8000NM0045 (I can get them for $70 each (open box)) they are Sata not SAS.

Ended up getting 2 10tb drives for the same price ($70 each) and a 5 year warranty.
