hi,
tl;dr: need new hard disk time capsule. should wd. color should choose?
long story:
bought time capsule looks kind of trash bin mac pro (i.e. not mac mini) , hard drive die. seagate comes samsung. since cannot separate seagate's native hard drives samsung produced, rather go western digital. because samsung left-overs died massively in usb drives , in web servers (they have wd re).
however, had bad experiences wd hard disks when had no color. guess, blue now. no blue me.
there green ones: had them in home-built nas server , in late 2009 imac, both still work fine. greens worth consideration.
downside: 2 year warranty.
there red ones: meant used in nas servers on. have them in 2 computers, no problems far, both below 1 year old. don't know reliability. though unsure use case since designed 24/7 while time capsule of time asleep. runs 5 minutes per hour, when time machine decides backup.
plus: 3 year warranty.
, there purple ones. designed used in cctvs consider similar case time capsule if record event-based, idle of time. wd says optimized video streaming, little bit off-topic regarding backup device.
plus: 3 year warranty.
wd hard disk should go for? 1 suits best time capsule idle of time?
thanks.
