Hi,
I'm looking to build a 4 - 6 drive QNAP video server and can't find a clear answer as to whether Exos would perform worse than Ironwolf Pro. It seems that on paper on should go for Ironwolf Pro as this is the recommended drive for this use case but the Exos are better value at the moment and in some ways higher spec. Is there something in the architecture of the drives that mean Exos isn't really appropriate.
Thanks
Will
