Recommended HDs for Synology DS-207+

[Resurgent Church]

I have ordered a Synology DS-207+. After looking at the recommended drives on Synology's website, I see that they are all previous generation drives. I plan to run the NAS in RAID1 mode. Suggestions on drives? And is the added expense of Enterprise level drives worth it?

No suggestions on drives. In general, drive performance doesn't make that much difference in off-the-shelf NASes.
Does Drive Performance Matter in your NAS?

Not sure if you are still looking, but I am using two WD6400AAKS drives in my DS207+. I have had them for months with no problems. There is also a 750 GB version of the drive. I have thought about changing the drives out for two 1 TB drives, but I am not quite ready for that and not sure which 1 TB drives I would use.

personally I'd recommend one of the 24/7 enterprise drives. They are designed for continuous duty cycle. Tim may disagree since some consumer model drives work nearly as well. Your mileage may vary....
