I think they're referring to price-per-TB, so 18 TB for $200 ($11.11/TB) is fairly close to 14TB for $150 ($10.71/TB).

Excellent price per TB, but for almost the same price you can get the WD 18TB from Best Buy which people say is more reliable (in my experience all the major brands are all the same)

Depends on scale of your setup.

For example I have 20 drives, having them in external housings with 20 power bricks wouldn't ideal.

Instead I have a server running in basement.

Also if you shuck them and put it in proper setup you also have proper cooling.

Drives in these external enclosures often run hot.

What is the benefit of shucking instead of just plugging this into my PC? For context I plan to just store videos on this drive for playing on Plex.
I use the external drives for backing up all of my photos, files and etc. After I run the backup, I disconnect the drive. If I get hit with a virus or a power surge and lose everything, the external drive is safe. You can also take it off site for storage.

Agree, I do not want to mess with that, but I purchased two a few years ago and didn't have to do that for my Synology NAS.

I bought costco also and will be careful shucking the WD in case they have to go back.

Anyone know for sure if there is work to do on the pins on these WD ones?

(sorry - didn't mean to hijack thread)
Just power them with a molex to sata adapter which don't have 3.3v: https://a.co/d/0uuhWZ9

Easiest and completely fool-proof, and put that old school molex to use.

It's going to be a Barracuda, they're not going to drop an enterprise NAS drive at this price point.
I don't think Seagate makes Barracuda that is bigger than 8TB.

I am pretty sure, from my past experience, it's either Ironwolf or better.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a 14TB Barracuda, but that's a really good deal if they're dropping an Ironwolf in there

Probably won't matter much as long as these are CMR drives.

To put in a NAS, usually, and because the externals are cheaper than buying the bare drive.

I got a couple of these back in the summer. They are Exos drives. X18 series, if I recall correctly.

I've bought 8 or 9 14tb Seagate externals to shuck over the years. 75% have been Exos drives and the others were Ironwolf drives.

There is no guarantee what's going to be in there, but they will all be CMR drives.

I have Seagate and WD drives, and so far only the WD have failed, but those were the oldest drives.

Drives tend to follow the bathtub curve - fail early or late.

Folks, remember that some credit cards are offering 5% back at costco this quarter.
