The simplest answer is that they can run smoothly for three to five years. This means any HDD, whether it’s external or inside of a system. Asking about the longevity of an external enclosure—a metal or plastic housing designed to cover and protect a disk drive from damage—is a different question altogether.
Which is better Seagate IronWolf or WD Red?
WD Red has a slower rotation speed than Seagate IronWolf so you can’t transfer files as quickly. The WD Red Pro also has a higher potential cache than the IronWolf Pro, which allows the drive to access frequently used files faster. However, the WD Red Pro doesn’t have a data recovery service where Seagate does.

If I instead choose to move to a new Diskstation like the DS218+, can I move my DS212j drives over to that unit and then replace with a higher capacity drive? I would NOT advise that. Instead, install the new disks in the new NAS, then copy over the files from the 212j.
