$189.99, recertified but still a better deal I think.

4.42% average failure rate, according to backblaze.

That's why it's on sale

There isn't a single 18TB drive in that report you linked to. Where did you get that number from?
The only X18 drive there is 16TB and it had 1.44% failure rate which is not the best, but not the end of the world either.

There are, in the last table (Annualized Failure Rates for Unreported Drive Models). 60 drives of this exact SKU, 6 drive failures after a little over 2 years. Granted 60 drives compared to 1100 on the low-end of drive counts for Backblaze means every failure will have more weight because it's a smaller sample size.

Depends who you ask. These new HDDs have more warranty (2 vs 5 years) for $27 per year (+$80 total). But less risky to take chances with redundant storage.

Do not buy these from Newegg if the seller is from China. I bought 16TB and had the 16TB label but it is actually 500GB.
