When choosing for an extra plate for my HomeNAS (qid = 1389708213 & sr = 8-3 & keywords = + ZyXEL NAS) I wavered between WD and Seagate. Normally, I'm a friend of WD. The research recommended by NAS drives Readme then pivot direction rather Seagate.
The Plate
- Provides sufficient performance
- Is not heard in my NAS
- Is only slightly warm
All in all I can only recommend the plate
