That's a remarkably good price. If I had $1.5k handy I'd be sorely tempted (even tho it's Seagate).
- rubatuga 11mo agoI've recently shucked some Seagate HAMR 26Tb drives hopefully they last
- mindslight 11mo agoI won that lottery with 3x 26TB Exos shipped. I decided to try and get two more but they ended up being HAMR (returned). Then I managed to find two more earlier manufacturing dates in store stock at a somewhat-far Best Buy that I was driving past anyway. It felt like an unnecessary purchase at the time (I'm still waiting to CAD a CPU cooler mounting solution for the build in a new case that has room for the drives). But it seems like that deal is going to be the high water mark for a few years, at least.
- rubatuga 11mo agoI don't know- apparently for many years the helium levels stay at 99%, if we extrapolate they will probably last for a few decades. So my concern over helium might be a bit too much
- dddgghhbbfblk 11mo agoIt's a good price but the Barracuda line isn't intended for NAS use so it's unclear how reliable they are. But it's still tempting to roll the dice given how expensive drive prices are right now.
- fluoridation 11mo agoDon't take manufacturers' recommendations so literally. I've been running 6 WD Greens in raidz for 81000 hours with no issues. Home media library etc. At the end of the day, any CMR disk is basically the same as any other, excluding manufacturing defects.
- execution 11mo agoI was tempted by 4 x 28TB (Recertified Seagate ST28000NM000C) but could not work out what I would use it for.
