I found this its the cheapest 10TB Exos drive on Newegg and looking to buy 4 of them. I will be putting them in my NAS that I use for my media library and pc backups. The price I’m posting this is $130, I’m also looking similar Exos drives that are $250 is there a difference? Should I shell up for the more expensive drives?

    That tracks with my experience as well. Literally every single Seagate drive I’ve owned has died, while I have decade old WDs that are still trucking along with zero errors. I decided a while back that I was never touching Seagate again.

      I actually had my first WD failure this past month, a 10tb drive I shucked from an easystore years ago (and a couple moves ago). My Synology dropped the disk and I’ve replaced it, and the other 3 in the NAS bought around the same time are chugging away like champs.
