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
Has anyone shucked yet? What’s in the case?
There is a video on YouTube of someone shucking one. It was an Ironwolf Pro.
can you link it or point me to it, i want to make sure its the same, please and thank you.

That’s the video I was referencing
However, in this other video the author got an ironwolf pro but mentioned in the comments they have also gotten Exos X18s before.

In the second video the box matches the box advertised from Costco
In this third video the author got an Exos, also same box advertised from Costco
