Aww shucks... Seagate 14tb $199 BH Photo

Seagate 14TB Expansion Desktop USB 3.0 External Hard (bhphotovideo.com)

No tax if you have the PayBoo card (which I do). Looks like these are usually either Ironwolf or Exos helium drives.

On backorder but BHPhoto usually restocks drives pretty quickly.

Congrats on your PayBoo card.

Congrats on your PayBoo card.

LOL, not sure exactly how they get around the tax thing, but it certainly has saved me a good chunk (sales tax here in WA is around 10%).

29.999% APR on the card

30% APR, that's what I saw when I looked up the PayBoo card.
Great way to save on sales tax, but miss that payment date and you get to pay a huge penalty.
And the interest rate on savings is sub 1%

 

[ealvar]

Definitely pass on the Payboo card unless you pay off your card balances immediately. I never carry a balance and pay off as soon as charges post, well before statement closing date.

Does anyone know how these shucked seagates compare to shucked WDs in terms of idle noise? Quieter, louder, roughly the same?

+1 internetpoints for the title.

also looks like adorama is selling it for the same price

What's the formatted capacity of these?

 

[BlueFox]

MBR and GPT have negligible overhead, so, 14TB.

imho Exos is slightly louder than WD HGST.
