Ok looking to increase my home media center drive from 4TB to either 14TB or 18TB.

There is the Seagate 14TB drive for $150 (apparently next week) https://www.costco.com/seagate-14tb-expansion-desktop-hard-drive.product.4000203297.html (~$10.7/TB)

And then there is the WD Easystore 18TB for $200 https://www.costco.com/seagate-14tb-expansion-desktop-hard-drive.product.4000203297.html (~$11.1/TB)

I don’t necessarily need 18TB so I’m slightly leaning towards the 14TB but curious if these drives are any good or not.

Any input or advice?

    Your link to the WD easystore 18TB is the same as the Seagate. But if both sales are valid, I’d go with the 18TB. It doesn’t cost much more per TB. You might not need the extra 4TB now, but you will, soon enough. I have both the easystore as well as the the expansion, and they work fine, no issue.
