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.
What is the actual hard drive model inside?
They can just keep changing their minds about what they put inside as long as it meets the level of performance advertised.
IME these are always either Exos or Ironwolf Pros
Most likely whatever drive that didn’t pass testing to be sold as full retail.
This is player price.
Player price? What does that mean?
Hmm it’s $199 where I am. How do you get the $50 off?
Yeah, same here 199$. They recently put the 8TB on sale in my store, 99$, bought quite a few of these to shuck.
by being a Costco member in their region
Do they make 14tb smr’s?
Why no such deals in EU :(
Taxes
thank your government for that
Solid price per TB
Extra amazing colour, friend.
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
Hopefully that hard drive won’t crash, otherwise your favorite movie will be „Lost“
Get a NAS.
This is the drive I previously posted about earlier
love these have 3 already and they are magnificent same price as op. actually 129 each before taxes
What drive came in yours?
I saw an ad on Facebook for a 4tb nas for 50 bucks. It’s a Lacie with dual 1gb Ethernet and yeah it’s a 4tb alright. Idiot selected maximum security storage and had it mirror 4tb 8 times. Also has 4 USB ports which I added another 2 4tb to. That I already had. This was 6 months ago and ive filled up all those 36tb and another 40tb. Then I have a 4tb+2tb+ the 2 SD card slots have 1tb+1tb so 8tb in my little handheld and I don’t want to admit what I have in my desktop. But I got a good deal on USB C 1tb SSDs and bought more then all my fingers and toes worth. Everything is 95% or more full.
Should I get help?
