In my state, when I order directly from ServerPartsDeals I don't pay sales tax.
Seagate and Hitachi made their popularity due to being the primary drives offered with big companies PCs and servers like HP, Dell, IBM, etc. I've had more failed Seagate mechanical drives in the past ~15 years than any other brand. Hitachi's DeskStar line in a close second.
But yes it's a good price. I would even say get it if you need one. Just don't expect to run it for 7+ years and don't expect to be writing to it constantly or it could belly up sooner than later.
Good for NAS and basic file, ftp or web server storage. If you're worried about failure get 2 or more and raid them.
Lost data can't be.
Hey reliability of hard drives today, compared to a decade or so ago, is night and day. Yet ALL hard drives will eventually die, and no alternative storage like blurays that can deal with today's/tomorrow's drive sizes. Only choice cloud backup, where in truth, you're trusting others (regardless of encryption, esp with quantum computing in horizon) to keep it safe, not sell out their firm and change policies/prices, not to go bankrupt, and if you miss payments due to illness etc, your data is sooner than later deleted.
No good options right now without forking over significant cash, at least for home/small box users.

I won't defend their recent drives as I pretty much only buy Western Digital for over 5 years now and have also heard not the best from them, but at least their older stuff had some solid drives.
How is the longevity of this compared to WD Red Pro?
so it exceeds typical 8hr duty cycle in desktops and has better vibration and power/heat specs
