I'll probably keep using desktop drives for domestic NAS, though.
I think it also depends on how often drives are used and what type of
workloads they are exposed to, for a domestic NAS for mainly sequential
file writes/reads, they will probably be OK-- I have a few SW RAID5's on
desktop drives but I use them primarily as storage via rsync, once a week
or month I am not constantly read/writing on them-- on a daily basis. Is
that how you use your NAS as well? Or?
