Questions for the WBF computer gurus;
with my ever growing music collection, I want to redo my custom built music server (Roon core).
I currently have about 30,000 titles, mostly FLAC, SACD rips, and hi res downloads. currently total storage is 18tb spread in 4 drives.
My goal is long term use, and keep the operating temperature low.
My target s to have about 36 -40 tb of storage.. which is better- have three 16tb hdd or four 10 tb hdd? I’ve read somewhere that 10tb hdds run significantly hotter, is that true? I am looking at WD Reds and Seagte IronWolf.. which is better between the two? or which is best for this application?
I intend to re rip or upsample some files to wav 32/48 which will take more hd space that’s why I am planning to add storage
CPU is a 16 core Threadripper with the ROG motherboard and cooling system on a BeQuiet case. System has been running flawlessly for about a year, mostly in the 40’s. my concern is- will additional hdd space bring more heat? are those external docking systems good proposition? Any more suggestion?
Software Roon Core and HQ Player.
thanks in advance.
Fernando
