18 TB desktop/workstation hard disk drive Toshiba X300 Pro is the only large size PC/Workstation drive since 12 TB Seagate Barracuda Pro. While NAS and server drives work in PCs, this one is quieter than most and has lower power consumption (although still makes click sounds). This is the lowest price according to CCC and sold on Toshiba's store, so you can be assured it's not a second hand drive with reset S.M.A.R.T data. A downside is that Toshiba doesn't sell consumer internal HDDs in Australia, so you will need to deal with Amazon for warranty claims. Comes with a 5 year warranty.

I rememeber the pain my dads wallet felt when he bought my first 4Gb hard drive.
I remember buying my first hard drive - 5Mb!
Mine was a 20MB but I remember when my older brother got a 5. It was bigger than a shoebox, and also louder!
You make me feel even older. Paid a fortune for Conner 420 MB to upgrade the tiny 40 MB.
The size increases have really slowed down in recent years to about 10% per year, but they charge significantly more per TB for those slighty larger sizes. The recently launched 32TB still doesn't have a pricetag.Wow, didn't realise 3.5" drives had this much capacity these days. I'm tempted. $27.40 per TB ain't bad.
If you are tempted, try Neology (not associated, but bought many times) - currently have the 16TB @ $23.12 per TB, sold out of the 18TB ones for the moment.
Edit: Just checked they have 5% off for Black Friday (BF24)
Thanks. Bought one. Now, just need to build a new PC to go around this storage drive.
Back when 2TB drives were considered huge .
