What is the Best NAS hard drive of the Year https://nascompares.com/2021/02/16/best-hard-drives-for-nas-get-it-right-first-time-2021-edition/

- When choosing your first NAS device, as important as it seems to get the right network attached storage device, even more important is making sure you get the right hard drive or SSD Media to store your files on. Technically any hard drive (HDD) these days can be installed inside a network attached storage device. On the one hand, this is a good thing for those that like choice, but it is also a bloody awful thing for the indecisive or those that just want to know what the best hard drive to buy is right now. In order to use any hard drive in your NAS, you will need to make sure it is the following:

SATA connectivity (so some Enterprise drives will also support SAS)

At least 5400rpm or higher otherwise you there will be lag during access which only gets worse, the more drives you add.

at least 120GB and above in capacity, as often applications and NAS operating systems, plus updates, will be well over 50-80GB alone over the years

At least 64MB cache

Yep..that just above covers it!
