Newegg: Seagate Exos 16TB Enterprise HDD X16 - $379.99 >
Now $382.49
5-year Warranty.
Not 100% familiar with this line from Seagate.
More expensive that the shuckable drive but you get 5 years warranty and 2.5M-hr MTBF rating.
It seems that tomorrow they will have a deal on the 14TB.

I have an Exos X12 and swear by it. I also paid nearly $500 for it.
Good deal find, I'd buy this instantly if I needed a new drive, but right now I don't.

Are these good for NAS, unraid system? Plex ?

back up your data at least 2-3 times and use different forms/ways. i.e. different brand and store off site.
I think I might get the 14tb if tomorrow s price is good.
16tb is a lot if I lose it and also fairly $$$.

If it supports drives larger than 4TB, it will almost certainly support larger drives. This drive is also SATA and not SAS, so I would almost guarantee it would work.

I don't think there is much of a difference whether you lose 14GB or 16GB of your stuff.

- The speed difference isn't negligible
- Backblaze doesn't specify workload for each drive model. Higher workloads = higher failure rates
- My data is backed up in ZFS, Btrfs, and DrivePool arrays, on-disk snapshots, and offsite cloud
Use whatever works best for you. The warranty, workload rating, and performance peace of mind datacenter drives come with are well worth the extra investment for me.- The speed difference isn't negligible
