Ditto. I’ve been waiting on those to drop and ordered a ton while they were on sale for BF. Serverpartdeals.com is legit and their customer service is fantastic. With the savings, you can buy more drives to have hot or cold spares on hand if/when a drive fails, and you’ll still come out ahead.
How soon are you looking to buy, and how many? I’ll have some 10TB drives for sale soon.
Serverpartdeals.com! They have recertified 18TB drives for $165 today. They’re Dell-branded, but are still Seagate Exos drives.
I was just seeing that too. I’m gonna have to get some.
This doesn’t answer your question, but check out the 18TB drives that can be had refurbished from Serverpartdeals.com. You can save a lot of money and buy extra drives for more capacity or on-hand replacements considering the savings.
This is the 4th post recently about these drives. Search the sub for the answer to your question.
