As far as I can tell $250 for a 16TB drive is the cheapest price in at least two years.

Is this the new "no hdmi kills the deal" for toasters and plants? Seriously, $200 for 14TB is the best we've seen in a while, and I don't recall ever seeing 16TB this cheap.

For those asking about shuckable and such, I've been able to find the 16TB WD Red Pro and the Seagate IronWolf Pro drives for $300 sporadically over the last few months. If you want a NAS drive, buy a danged NAS drive. If you just want an internal desktop drive, then I can see wanting to shuck, but why play harddrive roulette on what you'll get? I've read that some of these drives are actually nerfed on RPMs as external drives vs their internal counterparts.

I'm all for saving money, but if the cost is negligible, just pony up a few coins for exactly what you want.

Are these the newer helium filled drives??? I have a 12TB WD drive, helium filled drive was using as my backup drive, fell off my desk…no recovery company will touch it, they don't have the technology/clean room ability…trying to avoid that if possible for new drive to replace it!

Must be cheap for a reason… 16TB for $250 looks nice though.

pretty sure all 14tb+ drives are helium filled.

That's an oddly specific criteria to find a deal, or is it.. Lol or.. because you know there's a better /TB deal for the 14TB not so recently.

Plus it's Newegg, so 2x the Mehhhhhhh

Yanking your chain laugh out loud

There's no roulette involved with the 16TB, for that size Seagate only makes IronWolf and Exos, both of which will never be as cheap as $250. You're right you can get a IronWolf Pro for $300 which is a lower end drive than the Exos. So, you can save $50 and possibly get a higher end drive? Don't see a downside aside from warranty, but since $300 is 20% expensive, that'd have to be a huge rate of failure to be an equalizer.

And before anyone points out the $285 16 TB Exos on Amazon, those are OEM and don't have a warranty, check the 1 star reviews. Plus, still $35 more expensive.

Not sure why this keeps coming up every thread, but I'll explain why you're being downvoted.

People shuck these drives. Shucking is the act of taking the drive apart, giving you a nice SATA drive you can use internally.

Now - those who shuck are probably running servers. Servers only have so much room to stuff Hard Drives. If I have 4 bays, I can only fit 4 drives.

So - it's more valuable to me to pay more per TB for a 16TB disk than pay less per TB for an 8TB disk. With the former, I get 64TB maximum space in my rig, but via the latter, I only have half of that, and I can't add any more.

Think about if you're building a garage and you want to keep two cars in it. A single car garage runs $10,000, but a 2-car garage runs $25,000. You would never make the argument that you're paying less per car for the single unless for some reason you're okay with two separate garages on your property AND you have the space for it.

It's the same idea with drives.
