I have 50 TB of data from my friend (collected with his consent) (or I really hope so). I'm trying to see how it looks on my Home Server! What's the best drive for this? Thank you very much!

6 drives each with 20TB capacity.
Three units are needed to store the data, and three more for backup purposes.
