Yep, that's why I bought mine back in June and at that time, it was $250 though B&H. I do remember Seagate was selling it for around $290 at the time which made me side w/ B&H.

not my experience. I bought 2 of these 26TB Seagates and I get around 240-250 MB/s speeds in the enclosure , I just plugged it into my usb 3 port on my PC. I transferred stuff from my SSD/NVMe to this drive.

Also, before I bought this drive, I watched on youtube guys that bought the device, and shared their experience. I recommend doing that for anyone that buys something like this.

Remember when Seagate was a reliable brand that you can trust to put your data on? No, me neither..

Of course I just bought it yesterday morning from them for more. Then it went OOS. Now it's back already and even cheaper.

I paid this for the 24 TB in September, and it's not bad, but it's noisier than I thought. The 24 TB was also formatted in exFAT, so I reformatted it to NTFS (#becauseWindows).

Seems like a good price for NAS drives holding media.

Edit: Bought 2 to shuck. Thanks for the great deal, OP.
Guess I'll be updating my truenas setup soon.

Remember when 1GB was massive amount of storage?
It was a whole one thousand megabytes!

FYI: The drives inside are Barracuda, and is not officially rated for NAS 24/7 use. Some have claimed it's just rebranded to discourage shucking and steer you to their NAS drives.

I don't know if it's true or not, but I plan to just use it as external drives as mostly cold storage. I got a 20TB and a 26TB.

I remembered going from 750 MB to the holy grail of 1 GB (0.001 TB) hard drive and paid this much.
