5TB HDD Advice for Optiplex Micro

inthesum@alien.topB to Data Hoarder@selfhosted.forumEnglish · 1 year ago

I have Optiplex 3060 Micro with 1 NVME drive and there was 2 TB External drive (Seagate backup plus shucked) which died today. I’m looking for 5 TB HDD option which could be used for below usage :-

Device would be used as Media Server / Torrenting
Device would be running 24x7
It does not have any critical data
Don’t need super fast drive 100 MB speed is good enough
Its mostly going to be torrenting and view via plex.
All services runs from NVME

Since the device does not have space for 3.5 HDD im stucked with 2.5 inch drives. I’m open to explore external drive as well internal drive.
