Enterprise hard drives (Seagate Exos, WD Ultrastar, Toshiba MG) are CMR drives built for continuous datacenter duty, with higher workload ratings and longer warranties than consumer drives. They are the backbone of serious NAS and home-lab builds, and at high capacities the price per terabyte is excellent. This table ranks new enterprise hard drives on Amazon.ca by live price per terabyte. For tested used units, see our renewed enterprise HDD page.
Frequently asked questions

A CMR drive rated for 24/7 operation with high workload limits, like Seagate Exos or WD Ultrastar. Built for servers and NAS rather than desktops.
