I concur regarding Seagate, absolute shambles from my experience, HGST however have been rock solid.
At home I have a pretty simple FreeNAS setup 4 HDD (RAIDZ) fronted by 250Gb SSD cache. Different RAID levels can amplify reads/writes performance; seek time's crap with HDD but when fronted by a fat cache like 250Gb SSD your most recent stuff is going to fly.
