I'm not asking for a specific endorsement, but should I be considering
something like the seagate ironwolf or WD red drives?
You need two qualitative features from HDD for RAID usage:
1) being failfast (TLER in WD talk), and
2) be designed to tolerate vibrations from other disks in a box.
Therefore you need _at least_ WD Red or alternative from Seagate. Paying
more can only bring you quantitative benefits AFAIK. Just don't put
desktop drives in RAID.
(Sorry for being off-topic, but after some long recent discussions I
don't feel as guilty. :) )
