With the NAS HDD series, Seagate now has hard disks that are optimised for use in NAS devices just like the Western Digital Red disks. The fact that they're in TLER mode by default is important for NAS devices, and it's also positive that Seagate tests the disks with all the major NAS devices.

Back in July of last year, Western Digital launched the first purpose built NAS hard drive, and for the longest time I was waiting for Seagate to do the same. Today this has come to fruition with the NAS HDD, offered in two, three and four TB capacities.
