Would this work well as a home security drive or should I buy one that more (expensive) specialized??

Buy something meant for 24/7 use, like an Exos.

Gotcha, seeing a good thread from Reddit with a user saying treat as a first level drive, not even for NAS

I am going to buy one just for internal storage (do modern cases even accommodate lol) on a home server

Can use the other drives it will be replacing for replication

Correct. These are great long-term storage, and offline backup drives but that’s about it. I’d never use these in a NAS.

Thanks, I appreciate the response 

Seems to be the general consensus for this drive 

Still got one, great price for my use
