If you are looking for an external hard disk drive (HDD), Seagate is still offering one of its products in the form of the Expansion 14TB model. While it was initially advertised as a limited-time offer, the deal is still live indicating that stocks are yet to dry up. The discounted price means the Expansion 14 TB is selling for under $13 per TB.
If, however, you are looking for internal storage, especially for NAS or a Plex (media) server, then you can have a look at WD (Western Digital Blue HDD. The difference between this and the other Blue models is that this one is based on CMR or Convention Magnetic Recording Technology. CMR is great when users are looking for heavy-duty or 24x7 usage of their hard disks.
These kinds of drives are excellent as both backup drives as well as for being a part of NAS (network attached storage) or Plex (media) servers as well as different kinds of home servers. WD also has its Red lineup of CMR disks but they are not running a discount at the moment.
