Looks expired on Amazon.
Newegg now has it for this deal price.

But in either case, there's quite a few reviews claiming premature failures. Probably a no-go for me.

Yep. Anecdotally, I'm in this thread because one of my 3 WD red just died (instead of graceful smart death, threw a bunch of bad sector errors and hung my nas). Need a replacement

My seagate exos pulls from external 14TB drives (3-years ago) are still going. So, I've had better luck with Seagates.

Won't open them until Black Friday

Any hdd can go out. But seagates have been complete trash in my experience. Nothing against them, it's just the truth. I am going to look hard for a wd deal first.

Quote from LivelyDime2637 :
Wish I had the same experience as you. I have two Seagate drives in my array now that were bought in completely different batches (after returning one already) so it doesn't seem to be a case of bad drives (or if it is, that's saying something). Like I mentioned, my Seagate drives are much louder than the WD that I have. Only responding to share my experience with others who are considering. The volume difference (under heavy load especially) is to the point where I avoid Seagate deals entirely, which is unfortunate considering Seagate typically has really comes in at a great price per size.
This is not a brand thing. Both Seagate and WD have both quiet and loud drives. It's about which model you buy. When buying external drives, you have no control over what drive model is inside, so it's a gamble either way.

I can't speak for Seagates but the (helium) drives in WD externals seem to be tuned to be quieter than the enterprise class Ultrastars of similar design. However, this comes with a roughly 20% decrease in performance (both access time and sustained transfer rate).

Does this require a separate power cable + the data cable?

All STKP14000400 model drives I've shucked had Exos 2x inside. Those have good performance potential, but you need to know what you are doing (basically it's two independent drives in one case, so you'll need to raid 0 them to get the best performance. QNAP will do that for you, not sure about other NASes. But if your favorite NAS brand doesn't know how to work those - it'll just see them as two 7TB drives, so you won't be able to add them to 14TB drives raid array)
On the downside - those run hot and the temperature limit on them is pretty low (recommended 40C, max 70C - for reference WD drives have 65C/70C). So, they'll easily go over 40C unless you have a proper datacenter AC cooling. Whether this is a problem or not - it's up to you.
I would definitely NOT use them as a desktop USB drive in the provided enclosure - the ventilation is horrible and unless your ambient temperature is 10C they'll easily go over max 70C under reasonable use. If you must - shuck them and move to a properly ventilated enclosure (as in - one with a fan, I don't think they can be passively cooled)

If this is like the one i have every 10 minutes or so the drive spins and makes a loud noise it's extremely irritating. Also, it's very very slow, so if you are doing lots of copies i wouldn't bother. This is good for like an overnight backup save system
I bought one last night and mine does this exact thing. Even when not transferring any files. It's loud as hell. I'm thinking about returning it.

Does it have anything to do with being a cmr or smr drive?
