This beast here is the GOAT backup solution, 'specially 'cause you can still rip them drives out. It holds all my movies, shows, every single song I got. Transfer speeds are as fast as it gets with them old school drives.
And for all you tech geeks out there, the real deal is you grab you some of these, yank them drives out real careful-like, then slam 'em into your home server, NAS or desktop. Talking loads and loads of room.

What's been the current "Best cost per Gig" bang for buck? I recall there being a deal that got the 10 or 12TB models down to $13.50 per TB. Although I haven't seen anything that low lately.

$15/TB was the sweet spot, so anything at that or lower is a good deal for new drives.

seems to be some variance as to what disc is actually inside...
tempted to grab one to shuck and put inside my nas...

problem is i'm gonna have a hard time returning it after shucking, if its a poor quality drive.

might be worth the few extra bucks to order a specific drive to know exactly what im getting

Amazon has WD Red Pro 18TB on sale for $279.99 so if you were thinking about shucking this EasyStore, you should probably just go with the Red Pro. You save $5 and also save the hassle of shucking. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08K3TFM92/
