Nonsense. Normal people who just use a computer don't backup data but anyone needing 18tbs knows how things work.

I would get this personally. While I don't subscribe to Seagate all being garbage, these WD that I've gotten have all been Helioseal drives (based on HGST designs) and have been cool, quiet, and fast. The initial ones were PWDIS which meant you had to tape the pin, cut it, or use an adapter, but the latest ones haven't been PWDIS so no issues.

Shuck shuck shuck
Doesn't void the warranty. I've had WD replace drives for myself and clients and often they didn't even require the enclosure. Keep it just in case but you should still get warranty coverage. Granted, 2x the client had to push back against a CSR who was being difficult but they got replaced both times even then.

Quote from zl25drexel :
18TB is a lot of data to lost if it fails at some point... good drive for data backups or porn collection Smilie
People always mention this but it makes no sense to me. Either you backup the data because you care about it or you don't. Either way, losing a drive (regardless of size) shouldn't matter. Restore from the backups or don't care because the data wasn't worth backing up in the first place.
Larger drives means less power, space, and noise/heat being generated per TB.

Which is better, this 18 TB or the 14 TB Seagate expansion desktop for $150? I will disassemble them and put them on a NAS.
Seagate is never better. It'll brick much sooner.

Maybe, but what does that have to do with a larger drive being a bad thing?
Just because some people plan badly (or not at all) doesn't mean there's an actual disadvantage to a larger drive.

Besides, there are only 2 types of drives - ones that have failed and ones that will. If someone doesn't protect their vital data with backups, they'll soon learn by experience that they need to. And then they'll want the cheapest / largest drives they can get. Having a smaller drive isn't going to protect you from drive failure.

Just keep the enclosures? The last few I've shucked show absolutely no signs that they were ever shucked. How would WD even know (assuming they cared enough to check)?
