I've seen this same price popping up pretty frequently among different vendors like a merry-go-round (Seagate -> B&H -> Best Buy -> eBay). Is this a tag team event or what? Can't one of them just drop the damn thing down to like $200 for a change?
... yeah a number of us have seen the different vendors doing the price dance. It is good price currently compared to other stuff. I'm not sure it will drop to 200 dollars "right now", maybe on black friday it will super sales, who knows.
There is still debate if this drive is good for NAS/DAS and good for 24/7 use. I have enterprise drives for my NAS and DAS stuff. So this is just load and unplug, and store. But others still have to decide if drive is good for other uses.
So 26 x 2 is around 50 TB of data (give or take a little).
I will leave them in their enclosures! I will use them ONLY to move STUFF to them to fill them, and then UNPLUG drive and put it back in Box it came in. The transfer rate for me is between 200-230 MB/S ... which is good for mech hard drive.
I have 3 or 4 4TB nvme drives, and a number of 1TB nvme drives ... and about 10 5 TB WD portables, and 2 NAS'S and 4 4-bay DAS'S, plus 10 500gb microSD stuff, and 10 usb 250gb sticks. Etc .
I don't need more super fast transfer drives, but 26 TB mech drive is slower, but it holds a lot more data. I do have 3 copies of stuff on different media. I sort of got into habit of buying storage, and I have to "peaceful talk to MYSELF" and say enough is enough.
We all are trying to figure out what we "need", ... so LIVE and LET LIVE. I have no idea what is right for you, and you don't know what is right for me. BUT I LOVE you guys sharing your experience with this stuff, because as you tell me what works and doesn't work for you, it helps me. Thanks guys.
This is the same price that B&H durint Bilt week. The device is okay, as always limited by the cable it uses. This still uses the USB 3.0 type A to USB A cable
There is no such thing as a USB 3.0 type A interface. It's Type C, as in USB-C
This is 2600GB.

Now, the seagates in this thread are 26TB externals and are CMR drives, which is good, but "new way to make them", ... so kind of unknown drive ... so ... for me I would not put these drives in NAS/DAS or use them 24/7 ... But for simple buy it, load it up with stuff, box it up and store in shelf/closet ... should be ok. So ... you have to decide yourself ... and you can look on youtube on other places for reviews , etc.
No brainer for me, for how I use it. If I need some stuff on my 26tb drive, I will take it out of box, plug it in, and transfer stuff to 4TB external NVMe. And also back up stuff since last time I backed it up. But also I have 4TB NVMe's that have that "new info on too", ....
Now 4TB NVMe costs around 200 dollars, and 26TB seagate hard drive cost 250 dollars.
Google drive is $2/mo. This is $250, so 125 months.125/12months is over 10 years. I mean dump google and all that but the math doesn't work out.
Isn't $2 100GB only?
This is 2600GB.
Yes Google Drive is $1.99/month for 100 GB $9.99/month for 2 TB
$250 each or for both ?
LOL! Yeah ... I should have been more clear... 250 dollars each. I'm in florida so NO sales tax in august! yeah....
