So less than 3 years use maximum.
5 years = 24 x 365 x 5 = 43,800 hours
This is only a fraction of the 2 million so these drives still have a lot to give!

I'm hoping it's a sign of prices coming down so I can start stocking up again, but if you need it now, I'll go for it.
Edit: Updated the price per TB (from $10/TB), because apparently I should avoid doing math when it's near my bedtimeš, thanks to @PurpleNarwhal693 for catching the error.

Here's a link to a Seagate X20 enterprise class drive so you can read the blurbage:

And here's one to a Seagate IronWolf Pro NAS drive for comparison:

I would consider $7.50/TB with the 5 yr warranty. Anything with a shorter warranty would make no sense.

Drives like these are going to be some of the only ones you can buy knowing they probably weren't used in a Chia farm.
All the 10,12,14,16TBs run a very high probability of being abused in a farm

I should have bought more of those but assumed there would be a $10 cheaper deal 6 months to a year later. Egg on my face.
I hear you, I'm in the same boat, it has almost doubled in price in about 9 months
What's worse is I have a brand new NAS to fill with drives. And my others are all at capacity with a under 1tb of available space š

I got excited for that thread when it triggered my alerts, but alas, none of mine do. So we wait.
