Homelab Relevance
The MG10 at 20TB competes with the WD Ultrastar HC560 (20TB) and sits between the 18TB MG09 and the 22-24TB MG11. As with all enterprise drives at this tier, the core specs are effectively identical across manufacturers. Buy whichever brand offers the best price per terabyte in your market at the time.
The MG10 is starting to appear on the used market as datacenter refresh cycles bring 20TB drives into circulation. If you are building or expanding a storage pool and 20TB per slot fits your capacity plan, these are worth watching for price drops alongside the WD HC560.
Best for: NAS and storage server builds where 20TB per slot fits the capacity plan and used pricing is competitive.
Avoid if: You need maximum density. The MG11 reaches 24TB on a newer platform.
