Depends how much you care about your data and what your backup plan is. Mine is unRAID with two parity drives, meaning I can lose two drives in the NAS without losing any data. Of course my house might burn down so I back up the REALLY important stuff to the cloud as well. Given this I don’t care about consumer grade SMR drives, so I buy the cheapest.
