They're still great deals. You're getting the remaining useful life on a drive made to run for a long time at high data rates. And, you can buy double the disks vs new ones, so you can setup your backup even easier.

TLDR; avoid Seagate 12tb and 14tb. 16tb drives so far look very good (X18). No published data yet on X24.

Does anyone have a reason not to do this other than "Seagate SUCKS, man!"?
At the end of the day ALL spinning drives will fail at some point and you should have appropriate back ups in place for when that eventuality happens.
Check backblaze stats and you will see they still have the biggest hard drive failure rates from any company.
My friend said the same thing "SeaGates are good now". I bought one and within a year it died, I lost all my data. Huge collection of movies, music, games, programs, all my tools that I coded myself.
Shouldn't have went with his word even though he's in IT. I'm in the space too but I thought sure why not I'll give them a shot.
Data is priceless, if you want to lose it go with SeaGate š¤
Western Digital is #1. HGST is #2 but a close second at that.
Anything else, run. ESPECIALLY, SeaGate, do a 5k Marathon.

I couldn't figure out the stats between certain models such x24, x20 and ultrastar, etc
I am looking for 18 to 22 tb
I have both wd red pros and iron wolf pro drives
in my nas.
How loud are enterprise drives compared to these ones I already own?
Thanks in advance.

I have a mix of drives trying to be extra careful and not putting all the eggs in one basket. So far the Seagate EXOS I got have been working fine for more than five years and performing better than the WDs one. Again, I can only speak of my own experience and specifically for the EXOS that are enterprise drives. That means they usually design them with long MTBF.

There's a good chance the enterprise class drives will have noticeably louder seeks than the other drives.
This model has an H on the end, but Backblaze Drive Stats lists one with a G on the end. The G model looks like it is performing pretty well for Backblaze with a 0.70% annual failure rate so far.
