@chris that's an amazing price for 20TB. I've been on the look out for WD Reds. May have to see if the Seagate drives have gotten any better quality wise in the last 15 years 🤣

@chris Another Canadian option is Memory Express, they've got the same deal on the 20TB Barracuda: https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00132272

They've also got a physical location on the island (here in Victoria).
