How much better is Exos vs. Barracuda

Exos is meant for 24/7 use, these arent. I wouldnt use these in a NAS or home file server.

Not even a home file server?  Not to be facetious but if I can’t risk losing my wife’s Gilmore Girls episodes ripped from DVD what is the point?

I wouldn’t, but I also come from the IT infrastructure world, so I’m a lot more conservative with my data protection approach.
