The 8TB is $199, coming out to $25/TB. That's way too much, you can get $19/TB for a 14TB from an easystore (easyshuck) right now, and it's not even on sale. I don't buy unless it's under $17/TB, and even then I go to serverpartdeals these days anyway. Their certified refurbished WD DC drives are $12.78/TB for 14TB right now, or $179.99 for double the capacity of this Seagate "sale". And you don't need to use Amazon to get it.

True that price/TB is higher, but IronWolf Pros have way better reliability stats and longer warranty which matters if your storing irreplacable data vs linux isos lol.

Seagate is not reliable in my real world experience, as someone with dozens of disks. I'll stick with HC530 over any Seagate drive, personally. A warranty cannot bring your data back.
