I will never buy electronics off of Amazon ever again. Whether they’ve fixed their mingling or not, they did it for years with no regrets. That level of contempt for customers deserves to be boycotted in perpetuity.
replyBut you have to buy a pair, so the price is double.
replyYou need a pair because if one HDD starts failing, you need to recover the data. Reading a 20 TB HDD takes an entire day of continuous reads, and a failing HDD can't handle that, so you need RAID 1 or a backup.
Make sure it's not amazon.DE as those are usually scam.
reply> Amazon is selling 24 TB Seagate Exos drives for $799
replyMight be a scam, you might get a used or a refurb drive. I wouldn't' trust Amazon for such purchases, if the price feels too good.
nice find! ServerPartDeals seems to be cheaper than Amazon tho. Sadly Amazon blocks agentic price watching but https://instinct.com/ has otherwise been great at watching HD prices.
replyThere are existing price watch services for amazon (e.g. camelcamelcamel) that work very well... if you need agentic price watching in your workflow, just have your agent watch your email for price alerts.
