Hey everyone, my easystore 14tb I use as my NAS backup is no longer copying, so I’m looking to replace it. I saw costco is having a sale on the Seagate 14TB Expansion Desktop drives starting on Nov 21 for $149 down from $199. I have been very weary of Seagate for a while due to negative personal experience and other reports of drives failing. Is this still the case with these seagate drives? Does anyone know if these drives are slow? I have seen other capacities on this sub from other stores being reported as Ironwolf Pro drives, perhaps that’s what this is? At $149, this seems extremely hard to resist. Thanks
Thanks for the info, my failed drive is a WD easystore out of warranty.
ugh, sorry to hear that.
Had a variety of seagate Exos x16, x18, and Ironwolf drives shucked from expansion desktop drives over the last few years. They’ve worked well enough for home lab and media server use. failure rate not bad enough to complain about.
