Toshiba enterprise 16tb was going for 285 recently.
So maybe not the best deal for a16TB, but for a Seagate, it doesn't seem too bad.
How do the Toshiba's compare? They are $305 right now at New Egg. 5 year warranty, but I don't see data recovery included. I've (knock on wood) generally had good luck with Seagate drives.
Being the OP, I don't care about up/down votes. Just wanted to let the community know about this great deal.
I appreciate it. I'm considering it. I've got 4 16TB, though I don't think they are they pros. I mean on Amazon, it's 1/3 off (over $200 savings), so it seems like a deal for me.

No idea. I am just pointing out that $285/16TB is now an anchor point.
Exos X16 16tb $299 at newegg today. Which one wod you get?
I have not looked at all the specs but while the Exos is significantly cheaper and has some better specs like reliability, it appears to be louder. That might be an issue for some.
Just wondering what's with the down vote? I haven't personally seen these this low.
In my opinion, there's been better enterprise deals (already referenced in this thread) but also I don't see a very good reason to be spending more for enterprise drives at these capacities. The majority using drives of these sizes are most likely using it for disposable media... meaning media that is usually easily replaced. Sure there's a few using them at a professional level (for example videographers etc.) but that's going to be few and far between.
On top of this, anyone using drives of this capacity should have some form of redundancy in place to handle 1 drive failure if not 2 simultaneously. I personally use Unraid to handle this requirement. My point with this is, from a reliability stand point, I don't see a point in spending more for high capacity enterprise drives versus buying regular consumer ones because the amount of failure prevention is such a small amount of percentage points and you should have redundancy anyway in the rare event that a failure occurs (I've only had 2 since 2008 on my personal NAS). Just save the money and put it towards other upgrades, failure redundancy, or storage expansion later down the road.

Thanks. I have a thing about consistency. I've had luck with these and I feel like sometimes, maybe in the past, two different manufacturers sometimes didn't have the exact same capacities.
I've been trying to organize my media, and in terms of "organization" I've been getting better at it, but it terms of backup and redundancy, having the same data on two different computers failed me (one got corrupt and then copied over the other), so I'm completely befuddled trying to figure what storage options would work best for me.
