Wouldn't supply and demand logic suggest the price would go down if people *didnt* buy? 🤔
Good deal for this size hard drive. It may even be the cheapest it's been so far. I'd buy it if it weren't for my datahoarding problem 😅.
I bought a 16tb WD from Best Buy. It exhibits an audible and unpleasant whining noise after shuck

Valid question, is it worth the extra $60 to go from 14TB to 16TB for this deal?

Who would know that besides you? We don't know your finances, your hardware, your intent for these HDD.

Quote from rczrider :
Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't moved to USB-C already.

Yes, I realize that micro-B SuperSpeed caps out at 5Gbps (625MBps), which is more than enough for SATA3 (6Gbps / 700MBps) given that a mechanical HDD won't max out SATA3 and USB will never operate at it's theoretical maximum.

But I hate having these otherwise useless micro-B SS cables that nothing else uses. Regular micro-B at least still makes sense for some applications, but everything else should be USB-C.

Your confused between megabytes and megabites. 625MBps is 62.5 MB/s. SATA1 is 150MB/s , SATA3 is 300 MB/s and SATA6 which is this drive is 600 MB/s. So this USB isnt even reaching SATA1 speeds.

I've shucked a bunch of these without issue. There are lots of videos on YT showing how to do it.

Quote from joneill03 :
I believe $15/TB is the general consensus of a good deal. This is slightly higher, but not much. I cant say anything for the 16TB models, but the 12TB models (easystore and elements) have been good to me so far.
$16/TB is more realistic.

Plex, NVR, personal cloud, lightweight windows/linux box, emulator, pretty much anything actually, at least for QNAP's.
