Speaking from experience, don’t get Seagate. Western Digital is better. I’ve been collecting movies for 15~ish years. My array is 65TB with 4000 movies. All WD EasyStore and MyBook. Seagates just aren’t reliable enough over long timespans.
Ive found seagates to be more unreliable than their competitors as well.
I hope you’re seeding
That’s one of the ones I have. It’s lasted since 2020 in top condition so far, the only issue is that it vibrates my table a little whenever I access any new file.
Do they make 14tb smr’s?
This is player price.
Player price? What does that mean?
What is the actual hard drive model inside?
IME these are always either Exos or Ironwolf Pros
Most likely whatever drive that didn’t pass testing to be sold as full retail.
They can just keep changing their minds about what they put inside as long as it meets the level of performance advertised.
Hmm it’s $199 where I am. How do you get the $50 off?
by being a Costco member in their region
Yeah, same here 199$. They recently put the 8TB on sale in my store, 99$, bought quite a few of these to shuck.
Why no such deals in EU :(
Taxes
thank your government for that
Solid price per TB
There have been a lot of sales on the Seagate drives lately. Maybe people are getting tired of the noise. When my sons tower is running, I can hear it from outside his door. I’ll stick with WD.
Extra amazing colour, friend.
Decent price. Probably not the fastest drive but just for movies, should be fine
I will never buy seagate again. Every one Ive had has died within 2 years. Toshiba makes good ones, ANd Ive had a few WDs for many years now
almost jump to costco website and realize it is costco.com and not costco.ca and planning to return the one i purchased at bestbuy for $240 cdn
I’m not expert, but… If you want to hoard data and not really use it, it’s good choice… Also Seagate gives 2 year warranty and I some models they offer free data recovery in case of damage
love these have 3 already and they are magnificent same price as op. actually 129 each before taxes
What drive came in yours?
