i just got an 18TB for 229 pre tax. 57% off

I'm a noob looking to build his first NAS server for media. Is this worth buying in bulk to shuck and install into a Synology DS923+? Open to suggestions if anyone is free to advise. Definitely looking to cash in on this black friday sale event.

I have a 16tb Seagate desktop but these are pretty noicy when reading or writing

Only a one year warranty.... and that's practically being as hidden from consumers as it can be in all the literature released by Seagate for retailers and consumers.

These external desktop backup drives use reconditioned drives, or low on test performance specs out of production.

This is a case of, "It's too good to be true."

I see Seagate, I instantly close the page. Never again.

seagate? yeah, no thanks.

These are available at my Costco. So this is a bad idea?

I've had good luck with my shucked Seagate. Lots of hate here, but for the price I jumped on it.

Wtf damn

I just shucked those drive from BestBuy sale here in Canada, the drive inside are Exos X14 Mach 2. Essentially those drive are 2x7TB but any os or partition will only see 14TB

Don't these have the x14 exos?

Yeah F Seagate shucked drives.

good drive for the price also sometimes it makes a sound like someones hittin a vape

Really debating this, anyone know how good the drives are internally?
