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.
I ended up getting the 14tb Seagate expansion for $239. There’s a 18tb WD easystore that goes for $299 and ends up being a better value. It was out of stock in store at Best buy and I was okay with 14 so I just went with that. So, I guess you could wait for the 18tb WD to go on sale for $299 again. That was the best deal I could find in terms of $/TB.
