I have had 8 Seagate 16TB exos drives in my Synology nas for over 2 years with no issues. I have had 2 8TB WD Reds previously fail on me. I also had a cheapo Seagate fail on me many moons ago. If you ask around enough you will find people who have had bad experience (and good experiences) with both brands.

Yeah I was going to ask.. I've had really bad experiences with Seagate in the past. Multiple disk failures and such. It's the primary reason I switched to WD for everything. Have they improved at all?

Any projected price targets for the next 6 months/year that 20TB drives might hit on deals here?

Nice to start seeing so many discounts recently since they have been gone in any meaningful way for so long...

i would unless you want a 5 year warranty vs 2

I would only be investing in 18TB+now

Nope. And their Customer Support has gone from Shittiest of Shit to Crappiest & Shittiest of all craps and shits.

One could correlate with The amount of seagate Exos recerts available for this same seller compared to WD. I could be wrong, I've Exos both new and recerts also have few new WD gold and time will tell.

Guess I'm sticking with WD then.. 50+ drives in "if it ain't broken" type thing.

I've had six 10TB Ironwolf Pro re-certified drives in service in my NAS for 2.5 years. I had one fail and I requested replacement from Seagate without issue. I'll need to start replacing them with larger drives at some point and will have no qualms about buying Seagate again.

These Ironwolfs replaced WD Reds and I had drive failures with them as well. I think it's just a crap shoot.
