At some point WD will have to compete. Their Easystores keep going higher.

Notice how they don't divulge the read/write speed ANYWHERE!? 🚩🚩🚩
I have the 24TB version w/ the Barracuda drive and I get around 200MB/s with large file sustained writes. Think multi gigabyte 4K movies.

Yep, but it's a barracuda. I got an EXOS for $20 more 6 months ago from BB Big Grin
You sure about that?

Is it possible to price match this to best buy? The adding to cart to see price may be an issue? any experiences?

Good price but with Seagate I will not take the risk. Too many HDs lost in the past. If only for backup maybe it is a good idea, but 1 year warranty?

Well, I lost my entire movie and music library to a Seagate drive, so I don't care if it's $50 or 999 TB, I'm not buying. I'm just really glad it wasn't my kids photos and videos on that drive (those get backed up, of course, but still).

All drives can and will fail at some point. The key is backups. This is very tempting from a price perspective, but the one year warranty sends a message as to how much faith Seagate has in these drives. At least that's how I see it. Even for consumer desktop use, one year is lame.

Why are so many people using these external HDDs as their only form of backup? A single drive will always fail, that is why you always follow the 3-2-1 backup rule. Never put all your eggs in one basket, especially a Seagate-branded basket.

At this point, these external HDDs should have a warning sticker on them to remind people of that.

FWIW all my external large drives are installed in pairs, with a robocopy script mirroring them nightly (and all internal spinney drives are RAID1 in OS)

It's bulk media storage though- additional, esp. offsite, backup would be prohibitively expensive and more complex- it's replaceable, though a PITA, if somehow BOTH drives died at the same time or something.

Anything vitally important/irreplicable is much much smaller in size (many GBs instead of many TBs) and 3-2-1 is reasonable

Do not buy this if you own a MAC. I own the 20TB version and simply would not mount on MACOS Sequoia. No matter what i do, the toolkit sees it as "unreadable volume" and Disk Utility" doesn't even read it. But it works on my Windows computer without any issues.
