what is difference between the dell exos and the seagate ones? bought seagate ones last year.

i stopped shucking with last years 18 tb seagate exos from server parts deals for 194 each but still buy externals for back ups. are the 18 tb wd externals particularly unreliable? i have good luck with wd externals and i have a whole shelf of them. only 1 12 tb died with in 2 years and had to be rmaed. had some 8s and 3tbs die but at the 5 plus year mark and i was phasing them out anyway. i still have 3 tb elements that still worked last that checked

I have the Costco flier advertising the 14 tb seagate drive and it says the deals are for members 11/21/2023-12/17/2023 on the front of the flier.

How reliable are the seagate 14 tb externals?

I usually get western digital externals never bought a Seagate external.

Are these 14 externals shuckable? Probably won't shuck them since I can't buy 6 but I hear they making it harder to shuck. My last buys for recertified enterprise drives.

server parts deals and go hard drive prices on certified refurbs seen to be up from last year. hoping for some deals for black friday
