While it may not look any different than a standard HDD, a NAS drive is different!
NAS drives don’t offer the deep cache buffer a standard drive offers, so while it will work, they tend to run hotter when used within a PC or Mac.
If you are looking for performance I would swap out the HHD with SSD. It also runs cooler than what a HDD or a NAS drive.
Depending on your work flow as you are going with a blade SSD as well. I would go with a smaller blade drive unless you are workin in sizable video work.
Basically I would slick with a 1TB blade and go with a larger SATA drive either HDD or SSD. Setting up a dual drive is by far the best setup! Here the blade SSD is the boot drive as well as hosts the applications. Leaving a good portion of the drive vacant so the OS and Apps have room for there caching needs (VirtualRAM, Paging & Scratch space) as well as extra space for SSD wear leveling enough space to work efficiently.
The second drive (SATA) is used to hold your content purchase’s (music and vids) and your work.
