Hi everyone, I am currently looking for a new hard drive to add to my media server and want to buy a 20TB drive. Now the question is what manufacturers would you recommend or avoid?
As far as I can see it’s either Toshiba, Seagate or WD.

if you buy off amazon, buy from amazon. buying storage from a marketplace seller is a total crap shoot.
Do they not still intermingle their stock? Last I remember, if a 3rd party seller lists a product that Amazon also sells, the stock is all put together in the Amazon warehouse. I’ve gotten counterfeit electronics even when it says “ships and sold by Amazon”. I’ve started buying from B&H.
B&H are the best. No Amazon-style marketplace sellers on their site (even Walmart and Target have started doing that). They actually know about all the products they sell. Their OEM hard drive packaging is by far the best I’ve seen from any store - I’ve gotten some from Newegg that were only wrapped in bubble wrap.
co-mingled inventory is a thing, yes, but i think you get better support from amazon for items they sell, even if from that inventory, if there’s a problem.
Good to know, haven’t had issues but would love other resources if you can offer some.
This is incredible thank you!
I can get a 20TB drive on mindfactory.de for 15€/tb.

Ok, my bad. Good luck on your build.
