We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I'm a noob looking to build his first NAS server for media. Is this worth buying in bulk to shuck and install into a Synology DS923+? Open to suggestions if anyone is free to advise. Definitely looking to cash in on this black friday sale event.
You might consider the 18 TB for $200 deal from Best Buy as well for more density, though this deal is better on a terabyte-per-dollar basis.
I haven't bought Seagate externals to shuck but I've bought a lot of WDs over the years for my Unraid box and I've had no issues with them.
It’s out of stock for me at least on the app
