I have a 'server' running OS X Mountain Lion Server.
I have it so it is only on for half of the day (turned on and of every day) trying to save some power
I am planning on purchasing more drives, and i wanted 2x 3TB Drives (1 for storage, and the other backing up that drive).
As its a 'server' I was leaning towards the WD Red drives, but i have seen that they are designed for a 24/7 environment, whereas in my case they would be powered up and down every day.
All im worried about is reliability and performance.
What do you think is best for this scenario?
Thanks
