Here we go again. While $16/TB or whatever some of you are complaining about while the 18TB drives are cheaper per TB, you miss the big picture, especially since a huge market for these deals is actually data hoarders.
They're putting these drives into systems with limited drive bays. If you own a NAS with only 4 bays, you don't go "oh, the 10TB drives are only $5/TB, I'll get 4 of those" because you'll cap your storage at 40TB (assuming RAID0 or JBOD).
You go "oh, I only have so many bays so it's worth it to me to go ahead and pay a little more for the 20TB drive knowing I'll max out at 80TB"
Plus - even if you're not shucking the drive and using it in another machine, you can only hook so many USB drives to a computer before you run into problems - plus you need outlets to plug all those drives into.
Finally - if you're using this as archival storage, again - it's probably advantageous to go bigger rather than strict per-TB economical simply because of the simplicity and capacity you can back up on one disk.

Same here. Since I would be shucking I would be fine with a NAS drive direct from WD at a good price. I think this stuff is coming way down. Seagate just cut 3000 jobs worldwide.
