Speaking from experience, don't get Seagate. Western Digital is better. I've been collecting movies for 15~ish years. My array is 65TB with 4000 movies. All WD EasyStore and MyBook. Seagates just aren't reliable enough over long timespans.

    There have been a lot of sales on the Seagate drives lately. Maybe people are getting tired of the noise. When my sons tower is running, I can hear it from outside his door. I'll stick with WD.

    That's one of the ones I have. It's lasted since 2020 in top condition so far, the only issue is that it vibrates my table a little whenever I access any new file.

    Hopefully that hard drive won't crash, otherwise your favorite movie will be „Lost“

    I saw an ad on Facebook for a 4tb nas for 50 bucks. It's a Lacie with dual 1gb Ethernet and yeah it's a 4tb alright. Idiot selected maximum security storage and had it mirror 4tb 8 times. Also has 4 USB ports which I added another 2 4tb to. That I already had. This was 6 months ago and ive filled up all those 36tb and another 40tb. Then I have a 4tb+2tb+ the 2 SD card slots have 1tb+1tb so 8tb in my little handheld and I don't want to admit what I have in my desktop. But I got a good deal on USB C 1tb SSDs and bought more then all my fingers and toes worth. Everything is 95% or more full.

    Should I get help?

    When is this deal supposed to start?

    I have the Costco flier advertising the 14 tb seagate drive and it says the deals are for members 11/21/2023-12/17/2023 on the front of the flier.

    How reliable are the seagate 14 tb externals?

    I usually get western digital externals never bought a Seagate external.

    Are these 14 externals shuckable? Probably won't shuck them since I can't buy 6 but I hear they making it harder to shuck. My last buys for recertified enterprise drives.

    I'm not expert, but.. If you want to hoard data and not really use it, it's good choice.. Also Seagate gives 2 year warranty and I some models they offer free data recovery in case of damage

    I will never buy seagate again. Every one Ive had has died within 2 years. Toshiba makes good ones, ANd Ive had a few WDs for many years now

    Decent price. Probably not the fastest drive but just for movies, should be fine

    If that drive crashes, you will lose 14TB of data :(
