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.
I hope you’re seeding
Ive found seagates to be more unreliable than their competitors as well.
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 :(
thank your government for that
Taxes
Solid price per TB
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.
Hopefully that hard drive won’t crash, otherwise your favorite movie will be „Lost“
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.
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
Extra amazing colour, friend.
I have the Costco flier advertising the 14 tb seagate drive and it says the deals are for members 11/21/2023-12/17/2023 on the front of the flier.
How reliable are the seagate 14 tb externals?
I usually get western digital externals never bought a Seagate external.
Are these 14 externals shuckable? Probably won’t shuck them since I can’t buy 6 but I hear they making it harder to shuck. My last buys for recertified enterprise drives.
I’ve had two Seagates fail within a couple years, they’re notorious
When is this deal supposed to start?
Get a NAS.
