So not worth it for chia. 18 month ROI.
Or you could buy 4 and sell all of them at a slight markup and be in the money tomorrow.

My quarter petabyte will still be chugging toward breakeven when I die and my wife loses the wallet key.

Seagate: never again. Every Seagate drive I've ever had has crashed hard and become unrecoverable. I think a half dozen over the last 10 years.
I had 6 of the 3TB drives back in the day. All failed in a few years around the same time. No other seagate drives have presented problems.

However, if you look at the statistical data from backblaze, seagaate is just as reliable overall as any other brand and each brand has models here and there that are better or worse.

Just wanted to throw out some statistically significant data so people don't get hung up on anecdotes.

Funny to hear that since my experience has been nearly the opposite.

I've owned 5 WD Externals and 10 Seagate Externals.

I've had 2 of the WD External drives fail and none of my Seagate have. It's not an issue with age either, some of my Seagate drives are 8+ years old. And all these drives have just been for data storage only, not constant read/write.

I went back to the Lenovo site this morning (Sep-3) and found that this is back in stock. I was able to place an order.

If you have Plex configured for maximum/original quality, it offloads the work to the client. A Shield will decode anything I've thrown at it so the server can twiddle its thumbs and only stream out the bits like a file server.

My server (single X5670) groans at trying to transcode 4K HDR content, but CPU usage is in the low single digit range when I play a 4K movie on my Shield.
Thanks a ton, you just answered a question I've had for some time.
