You need more than 2 if you wanted to run these in a decent RAID configuration. The 2 limit should be 4.
I don’t disagree but I think this would be decent for people needing spares with 18TB already?
Raid1 would be plenty acceptable!
16TB version currently 8% down on Amazon UK:
$454.60 Seagate 16TB HDD Exos X16 7200 RPM 512e/4Kn SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5-Inch Enterprise Hard Drive (ST16000NM001G) https://amzn.asia/d/840ShKf
So.. Amazon is worse
??
At those prices even if you only needed 16TB, say for RAID, I'd get the 18's anyway.
So very tempted.
Suitable for a plex server?
For the storage side of the house, Put this bad boy into an enclosure and then plug it into a NVIDIA shield pro and you will have a lovely little plex machine.
The only thing is how do u transfer files after that?
You can enable file sharing in the Shield’s settings and it appears like any other computer in your network.
suitable for NAS?
7200 rpm might be overkill depending on your usage, but that is a first-world problem. Enterprise-grade drive with a 2.5 million hour MTBF rating is pretty comforting as is the long warranty.
They are very noisy so if it's in the same room as you and you care about noise, maybe not.
hmm tempting but can quite go full Oz bargain on it, still got 13tb left on my 4x8 tb raid 5
I'm in a similar boat. Got 7 out of 8 drivebays full in my nas. All with 8tbs. To make this worth while I need to buy at least 4. And that's a lot to swallow considering i don't NEED the TBs right now.
One major advantage of using storage pools, can add any sized drive and slowly update them
Local warranty is nice, but is Seagate easy to deal with?
$26.06/Tb seems like a good deal for enterprise hdd.
Show $959 and no stock
Ozbargained unfortunately, hope people who needed them managed to order a couple.
Managed to get 4. Thanks OP!
How many versions of Linux IOS does people store with that much storage? It is crazy these days.

Every-damn-point-release ;)
Man missed out again!
Cheapest ever that I have seen for non refurb, new Australian-with-Seagate-warranty 18TB exos drive. GB does not count as it’s technically from HK though trustworthy from what I have seen.
If the extra two years warranty are worth it for you then I say go for it. Limit of 2 though 🤣🤣🤣
