Hey everyone, my easystore 14tb I use as my NAS backup is no longer copying, so I’m looking to replace it. I saw costco is having a sale on the Seagate 14TB Expansion Desktop drives starting on Nov 21 for $149 down from $199. I have been very weary of Seagate for a while due to negative personal experience and other reports of drives failing. Is this still the case with these seagate drives? Does anyone know if these drives are slow? I have seen other capacities on this sub from other stores being reported as Ironwolf Pro drives, perhaps that’s what this is? At $149, this seems extremely hard to resist. Thanks

    Did you register it and check the warranty period? If so, RMA the failed drive back to Seagate. They’ve gotten really good at replacing failed Exos drives within the warranty period. Of the 24 Exos drives I have spinning: 4 RMAs in the last 4 years. One failure was for a previously RMA’d drive.
