You're considering using two WD 4TB Red 2 drives in RAID 1 for your NAS/FTPS setup. This configuration will provide high availability and redundancy, making it suitable for media or file storage needs.

RAID 1 or JBOD are solid choices.

Drives such as IronWolf tend to be more affordable. Are you thinking about needing an upgrade in the near future? Do you actually require a RAID 1 setup? HDD failures are rare, and backups can restore your information if any issue occurs with the drive.

I’ll likely stick with IronWolf, I don’t believe I’ll have to upgrade anytime soon. I’ve got around 750 gigabytes of photos and I’m thinking about using them to save TV shows—I’m not sure if a RAID setup is necessary.

To preserve your photos, I’d definitely opt for raid1.

Backups generally offer stronger protection for data compared to RAID. They can safeguard against events like fires, faulty power supplies, user mistakes, and other issues that might cause RAID to lose all information. While both methods have their advantages, for personal use I prioritize backups over RAID.

A more effective approach could be considered.

Do you have solid backups such as an external drive, offsite NAS, or a cloud backup service?

It would serve as a secondary copy of my laptop, which already contains the photos.
