    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.

    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

    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

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

    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’ve had two Seagates fail within a couple years, they’re notorious

    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.

    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?
