20tb vs 22tb
20tb vs 22tb
Black friday time I buy a hdd.
Now I'm torn between a 20tb at about 17+/tb or pay more per tb and get a 22tb and also feature it in a YouTube video (I do YouTube).
Feels like price difference is between 350 and 450 approx. So the 20 is a better deal but would be nice to try a 22tb.
Also space is important so going for the bigger sizes is the reason for me but this here is only a 2tb difference.
What do you think? 22tb or 20tb hdd?
This option is worth considering:

If you can wait until 11/20, you can get the 20TB exos 20 for $270 (13.5/TB). Currently, it's $280 ($14/TB)
I have the same feeling as you about whether to get 20TB or 22TB. But as of now, for me, the price difference vs just 2 more TB is not worth it. If price on the 22TB goes down, I'd prob. pick the 22TB.
Your comment helped me confirm it.
I'm in EU so prices are a bit higher here but the difference between the drive is relative anyway.
I'm probably going to get the 20tb.
You can get 18TB factory recertified for 200€
I would get the highest amount possible per drive
$100 is not worth for extra 2tb.
No speed differences in real world usage between 16, 18 or 20tb exos. Don't know about 22tb but it should be similar to 20tb.
Unless you need the storage density in your setup go for the 20tb drives.
It really depends on your needs. If you can go with 20TB over 22TB and it won't create any issues than better deal for 20tb drive makes more sense.
