At least we got to post #14 in this thread before this same stupid and played out comment showed up, like it does in just about every hard drive thread, by someone who doesn't understand backing up the data that they care about.

You have a lot to learn. Read up on shucking drives, you do not lose the warranty.

Are these still worth shucking, or are they usually SMR drives these days? (although I'm a newbie to shucking, so may not have any clue what I'm talking about :-) )

I don't think WD has any smr drives over 8tb. I'm not sure anyone could tell you definitively what's in these but many think the 16tb models are hgst ultrastar hc530.

Ok, thanks, good to know. I was looking at the 12TB.

Pretty comparable, but 12TB = $15.83/TB vs 16TB = $15.94/TB, so 12TB is pennies cheaper.

i cant find the post where this guy actually posted from 8tb all the way to 18tb of the cheapest prices he seen for all the external i think it was probably during one of the black friday post for external but those have so many people who commented... i should of saved it. looks like 12tb has been as low as like 170$ range...

To me this seems to be putting a lot of eggs in one basket. Yes it's 16TB but if the drive fails then all of that data disappears.

I think people usually put these in some kind of RAID setup, e.g., in a NAS, so if a drive fails they don't lose any data and can plug and play a new drive to replace the old one in the system (with the NAS software many times abstracting away/taking care of all the details for that drive replacement).
