Why you would buy a spinning rust drive that's only 1TB if you care about performance is a big mystery. 1TB is available in not overly expensive SSDs now. That is a drive with almost no use case. A quick search suggests it's about $100 cheaper than the SSD, but unless your budget is absolutely inflexible that extra $100 would be incredibly well spent on upgrading the drive. More so than almost any other place on the machine.
I'd never consider buying one new - but I do have some 2-4TB blacks that I had for Steam. Funny how terribly unloved the old 15k 300G velociraptor sitting next to me - replaced by something costing about eight quality beers.
Had I a stack of them, I would have considered the black line safe for home NAS. Apparently not, now that I know.
