Hi all! I'm looking to upgrade my drives for Pegasus3 R8. Has anyone used Seagate Enterprise drives?? I was looking at the 14TB exos x16 drives. Wondering if they would work or if I should stick with the Ironwolf NAS drives others have used. My use is photo editing and storage. Thanks in advance for any feedback and insight.

To speed things up, I considered purchasing two SSDs to replace the R2two +'s 3TB drives. The problem is that SSDs with 1TB or 2TB capacity aren't cheap, and I'll likely have less space now as well. After that, I had a fascinating talk with a Seagate engineer at SMPTE. He advised me that if I purchase a RAID with 5 or more drives, I may utilize RAID 0 with several disks to get the performance I want. It may not be as quick as utilizing SSDs, but it will suffice, provide me with additional storage capacity, and be far less expensive.
