Seagate Exos X16 16TB 7200 RPM enterprise hard drive $316.21
$316.21
$321.21
Not $15/TB, but this is $9 cheaper than the lowest price ever, from good old pre-Chia times. The price will probably continue to go down further thanks to the mess in HDD market that Chia has created. The store promises price match within 7 days of purchase if you find a lower price.
Unlike shucked WD drives, this is a true enterprise drive that works at full speed (261MB/s) and has a 5 year warranty.
Use code โSAVEALINCOLN to get $5 off the 321.21 price. Works once per account but that won't be an obstacle for true slickdealers, I know 8)
No tax in California, probably some other states, too

Another thing people don't realize is that Backblaze is only one of very many companies buying drives in bulk. Their statistics represent only a small sliver of drives sold each year. Backblaze reports they had 165,530 drives in operation in 2020 with 23,278 of them being new. Over 260 million drives were sold in 2020 though, and nearly 1 billion between 2018-2020.
Backblaze provides useful metrics but the buck doesn't stop with what they say. I will always prioritize my own personal experience because at the end of the day that's what matters most. If your experience is different from mine, ok, no problem, but so what.

Which brings me back to what my comment was actually on...
enjoy losing all your data once these drives start the click of death within a year

But as far as I can tell you don't have to buy from an authorized seller to have them honor the warranty.

Oops, hang on. "Only consumers purchasing this Product from an authorized retailer or reseller may obtain coverage under this limited warranty."
Can anyone comment on whether they'd still honor the warranty? This seems like a straightforward "no," but I know there were reports of them replacing shucked drives that failed.
Very tempting either way, but I don't need drives right now so I might just hold out idk. Encouraging to see this price come back since this drive was shipped and sold by amazon.com at this price in the pre-chia times.
Shame really.
I have used them via eBay many many times. All great experiences and fantastic packing.

Of course, if you have multiple sessions downloading and transcoding content through Plex on the same drive, you'll need something faster: a RAID array, a faster drive, or some additional SSD/RAM caching.
