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

That’s the video I was referencing

However, in this other video the author got an ironwolf pro but mentioned in the comments they have also gotten Exos X18s before.

In the second video the box matches the box advertised from Costco

In this third video the author got an Exos, also same box advertised from Costco
