Eww 5400 rpm hdd, even in the year here the pc is new is a hard no (also the drive would be 500 gb not 512 that’s an ssd thing not mechanical drives typically). 7200 rpm and highest cache amount possible please
Smell like server specs. Put Jellyfin on it haha
What? No tons of desktop drives were this way too. I mean yes WD RE style drives were fantastic but WD black was always the way to go back in mechanical days. They were for desktop.
I mean homelab server
This thing sounds like it would eat more power within a month than its hardware is worth. This is fine for a proof of concept, but not much more.
I would still use better drives even for home lab. In my opinion, 5400 rpm drives should only be used for slower nas / backup applications if at all. Or grandmas pc to save a few bucks.
