about $14/TB

I can't tell you which of those options is better. Each has it's perks.

But if you want to use the drive in-house/on-prem similar to Dropbox/Google Drive app, you can install Syncthing on each system and configure what folders you want backed up. It will back up changes to the other system over the network - and even do file versioning. Great app, and free to use. No reoccurring cost and no remote (cloud) storage required.

Quote from cz14 :
Was thinking about getting a large HD to backup photos/videos from my iPhone since Apple pushes for me to continue to buy more cloud storage.

Any thoughts on buying cloud storage vs buying a 20 TB HD? I like the convenience of auto backup to the cloud but wondering if possible to auto backup to a HD from a computer.

You will still want a backup to this drive; drives fail, and a loss of data in this magnitude for an individual will be massive. Cloud isn't ideal alone either as access loss due to a variety of reasons is just as bad. Anyway, if it's important and irreplaceable, make sure you have redundancies.

Is it better to buy this or an internal hard drive and put it in an enclosure?

This is a good current price for this particular drive, but it was actually cheaper a few months ago. Storage prices have been fluctuating.

I recently bought this drive as an alternative – an 18TB drive with a Seagate inside for $198 seems like a much better deal per TB:

14TB Seagate for $96 was good price... this is not

Dude that was clearly a price mistake only a handful of people were able to get and thus shouldn't be used as a measuring stick!

I would say you got a used drive from a data center (that had its SMART data erased) in that -- so not such a good price really.

True. This will only degrade in performance if and features if they stop updates.
It's a hard drive in a USB box and probably about half the people are yanking it out of the box immediately anyway. The drive doesn't care about mfr "features and/or updates" and neither do the people buying it.
Stop wasting everyone's time with silly comments.

Amazon delivered my drive without any additional packing (just the manufacturer's box).
Anyone else in the same boat?

We received a small cosmetics item from Amazon in a cardboard box just the other day, but an expensive hard drive like this, which is not even solid state, being shipped without any additional packing is puzzling and disappointing...

If so then it would be safe to say the drive itself is a premium hard drive, quite reliable and built to withstand many hours of use, not a bottom-tier drive. Not really worried about hours of use in my application. Good to be aware of though.

Hard to say really...it could also be a refurbished entry-level consumer drive. Just open the enclosure and see what you got.
