I'm in the need for a more durable drive after a recent drive failure and the loss of some very important files, so I did some resaerch and after hearing my wallet scream at me a lot, I've decided that a 1 TB WD Red looks like a good bet - but would it be reasonable to expect a drive built for a NAS to be (at least) more durable than a standard desktop drive while in a desktop? Also, (this one is just hypothetical at the moment) if I wanted a backup drive to store my most important files and then just lay around in a drawer or whatever most of the time, would a small SSD be better for that than a hard drive?
