I’m planning on using it as an external drive for a few months. I plan on shucking it later when I get around to building my NAS in a few months. So I’m wondering which would be better for that. I’m located in Canada so the prices are all in $CAD.

The 14tb I found for $239.99 at bestbuy and the 18tb is $334.99 at Newegg/Western Digital. Price per TB is $17.14/TB and $18.61/TB respectively.
