Seagate Exos 16TB Enterprise HDD X18 SATA 6Gb/s 512e/4Kn 7200 RPM 256MB Cache 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (ST16000NM000J). $299.99 - $40 off w/ promo code EPE57, limited offer for up to 5 drives. Newegg.
Have been waiting for a drop in price for my new NAS for some time and this seems to be slightly above historical prices and comparable to recent pricing for refurbished drives but is NEW with 5 years warranty.

Of course, there's downside to going this route because of a CONSIDERABLY shorter warranty period and if it fails you will likely get a refurbished external drive from Seagate, while this one from Newegg should entitle you to a new EXOS if it fails.
Not saying that external drive is the right choice for every person, but it may be worth considering if you're in the market for a drive like this.
Great deal btw, thanks for posting OP 🤓
26TB external is guaranteed to be a Barracuda HAMR. If you're using it for cold storage it's likely up to the task and would be a better value, but for my server needs I only want EXOS so I wouldn't even consider that 26TB.

Apparently Newegg packages these drives poorly, as does Amazon for some reason. serverpartsdeals.com packages them very well even though theirs are refurbished drives
