Yep, ordered one last night even though I didn't need it. Of course now you have the posters that have to say "I'm not buying until the 16tb is $200".
People were having troubles this morning...

When running, mine are basically silent. Can hear them spin up from rest in a quiet room, but that's a non-issue to me.

Why should this be cheaper? If they are selling well around this price point, why would they lower it? Who knows, maybe we will get lucky and see these hit $100 like they did last year.

Do the math. 2 8TB=16TB for $260. The 14TB has been and will be soon $200. If you can wait a little, I don't think this is a good deal.

No, USB 3.0 has a max rating of 5gb, which is only 625MB. The capitalization matters a lot here.

Your USB3 controller is likely causing that flakiness. The second I moved my drives from my USB3 JBOD to my case is the second I stopped having errors and disconnections.
