I used this 12TB NAS HDD for over 35,000 hours — and it's just $199 during Prime Day

Seagate's IronWolf and IronWolf Pro drives are heavily discounted right now.

I know it's weird to have a favorite NAS HDD, but I manage over 300TB of data across dozens of drives, and after testing just about every product available in this segment, I now gravitate to Seagate's IronWolf as my to-go choice. If you're looking at terabyte to price ratio, the 16TB IronWolf Pro is the best overall value, but if you don't need that much storage, the 12TB option is the way to go. These drives have been running 24/7 throughout that time, and other than occasional maintenance where I clean out the NAS server (it can get incredibly dusty), they've been in constant use.
