A 16TB hard disk drive is on sale for far less than you'd think

16TB HDD for just over $400

Storage giant Seagate unveiled two new hard disk drives with a 16TB capacity earlier this year and for once, it was not all about data centers.
The Exos X16 and the IronWolf/IronWolf Pro targeted two different audiences (data center for the first and NAS users for the second) and feature SATA or SAS interface only for the first one and SATA only for the second model.
Provantage is selling the Exos (ST16000NM001G) for just over $400 while the IronWolf one (ST16000VN001) retails for just under $500 from Amazon.

At just over $25 per TB, this is a fantastic, fantastic deal for those looking for a drive to rule them all and for once, it doesn't carry any significant premium. Just bear in mind that 16TB is a lot of data to lose, just make sure you it backup.View Deal

Both have nine platters, use Helium technology and have a five year warranty (the IronWolf has three); they also share the s same spinning speed (7200RPM), idle power (5W), average latency (4.16ms) and cache (256MB).

As a primary drive I find a 2TB SSD drive to be far more desirable than a 16TB HDD.

16TB is good for storing porn and that's about it.

I have a purpose for 16GB which is to be used as a ROTATIONAL BACKUP DEVICE for a SME which got data of about 1.6TB size.

My crontab script will do a nightly backup and Rotating into different folders for each different day of a week. E.g. Monday Tuesday .... until Sunday.

This creates a whole week worth of UNDO-Buffer, e.g. if you discovered an accidental deletion of file (done up to a week ago) you can go back in time to the data backed up last week to dig out your lost data.
