I am in the process of updating my NAS at home. From previous experience, my NAS is almost exclusively used for data backup. Thus, I have decided to enable WoL as well as making the NAS sleep for most of the time to prolong the hardware longetivity. The up time is a few hours a day.
Given this scenario I was wondering:
a. If I buy a HDD NAS, then is it better to go with consumer HDDs (e.g. WD Blue vs WD Red) given the high idling time.
b. Is it better to go with SSD NAS instead of HDD ones.
