My family knows not to buy me computer or camera gear because they'll never get it right (also it's too f'ing expensive).

I just shuck WD Easystores, they're so much cheaper. Got my 5x 14TB's for $179/ea a year or two ago. Curious to see what the Black Friday sales will be on 18's. With the difference in price, if you're buying a few, you can just grab a few more and shelve them until a production one craps out. For a media server, they're probably fine. If you've got serious data, then maybe the white labeled Red drives aren't the best? I dunno. Never had issues. https://shucks.top/
I'm assuming it's because they are in Canada, and prices tend to be higher there.
They need to find a US warehouse to ship to US customers.
I always buy used NICs and HBAs off eBay, way cheaper even if I had to replace it on my dime.
