Unless you really need a little bit more space the 12tb drives for $75 or less are a better deal. I got mine for $75 with a 10% off code so net $67 each.

If you would just add the link and the code in your post it would make things much easier. Appreciate the knowledge!

Code was YMMW. Only available for some accounts and single use. The 12tb is currently OOS but has been a pretty regular deal for a while. I'm sure it will pop back up again soon and might be a buck or two cheaper even.
Even without the Affirm it is $104 which is still excellent for an HC530 14TB. 3 weeks ago I paid $120 for a Exos X18 and this is just as good or better.
1) Is Affirm awful to use? I just wanna pay it off immediately.
2) How bad is newegg these days when dealing with returns/exchanges (like shipping it back to them for replacement, is it free?) in the chance of bunk drives. (I need 4x for a NAS, so its gonna take a few weeks to complete through disk tests)
3) I know these are a handful of Decibels louder, but in the NewEgg reviews some negative reviews are claiming loud clicking, is that normal? bad? replaceable defect? or just a a luck of the draw?
Thanks!

Warranty from these is via goharddrive w/ 5 year warranty. Newegg just drop shipping. As to their service they stand by their warranty I have has two drives replaced over the years and not an issue whatsoever. You would service it through them not newegg (which is a positive IMHO)
As for loud clicking these are DATACENTER drives which means they are performance and you will hear noises from them because the platters are spinning at 7200RPM whereas a desktop drive likely 5400RPM and less aggressive. Note these are a bit quieter than Exos drives.
These drives will likely be 4-5 years old already. So if you don't have the stomach for it or do not practice 3-2-1 backup scheme this may not be the best deal for you.

My usage is for a Raid 10 NAS using 4 drives. Synology Nas, so if a Drive Fails the software allows you to swap out the defective drive and it should rebuild. Atleast thats how its supposed to work, none of my Reds have died yet for a decade. I think these make sense in this scenario yes? or should Reds still be the standard for my NAS configuration.(they'd cost over 3x times as much). I also don't quite do 3-2-1 Backups. I just have my NAS's contents backed to an external passport drive in case of a natural disaster for my bug out bag. I wouldnt even know how to store data off site. Don't trust no body! lol.

You're not going to find desktop drives spinning at 5400rpm in this size either, really no difference there. But otherwise yes.
Just mount them in sleds with some sort of isolation and they'll be fine.

That must be one hell of a passport drive, but these should be fine for what you outlined. They just need decent cooling if you are going to hammer on them constantly, which that setup probably won't.
I bought a 14TB HC530 drive from goharddrive about a month ago, and unlike all of the 12TB drives I bought from them in the past few months with 30,000+ power-on hours, it only had 17 hours.

Interesting. That family is obviously younger and should have logged less hours on average, but your particular drive seems rather unicorn-esque!
