Seagate Exos X20

Seagate’s IronWolf Pro is a solid choice for NAS and workstations and includes free data recovery coverage for three years, while the Exos X20 slots in with higher workload and reliability ratings for servers and surveillance systems. Both drives maximize capacity with no significant performance compromises but come at a premium for the highest-capacity 20TB models.
