I know people love to dunk on Seagate drives, but it was really just the one gen that was the cause of that bad rep. Before that the most hated drives were the "deathstars" (Deskstars). I have a 1TB Seagate drive that is 10 years old and still in use daily. Just do some research on which drive to buy, no OEM is sacrosanct. I'd personally wait 6 months to a year before buying one of these drives though, so enough people have time to find out if this generation is trouble or not.

If EA or Ubisoft don't get their shit together this won't be enough.

You thought 50TB was it? LOL! Hold on to your butts because 53.713TB SSDs are coming! These will cost you all your vital organs at 35years of age. Brains included.

Having been burned many times in the past, I won't even trust 40 GB to a Seagate drive let alone 40 TB.

Even in enterprise arrays where they're basically disposable when they fail, I'm still wary of them.

So all the other hard drives will be cheaper now, right? Right?

That's pretty impressive a couple of those and you could probably download the next Call Of Duty.

Incoming 1Tb videogames. Compression? Who the fuck needs compression.

Imagine how long it’ll take to rebuild your raid array after one fails lol

Wow great. From seagate. The company that produces drives with the by far lowest life expectancy compared to the competiton

If you aren't running a home server with tons of storage, this product is not for you. If the price is right, 40TB to 50TB is a great upgrade path for massive storage capacity without having to either buy a whole new backplane to support more drives or build an entirely new server. I see a lot of comments comparing 4TB SSDS to 40TB HDD's so had to chime in. Yes, they make massive SSD storage arrays too, but a lot of us don't have those really deep pockets.

Why in the world does this seem to use an inaccurate depiction of the Xbox Series X expansion card for its thumbnail?

And they’d only be like $5k each. HDD prices have gone ridiculous. I’d just like 20TB drives to be reasonably priced. 10TB drives are twice the price they were 5 years ago.

I can't wait to upgrade my NAS to a 200Tb Setup

Hey! You! Get offa the Cloud (and grab yourself one of those drives). You can keep your thoughts to yourself, now you can keep your data to yourself, like in the recent old times.

Imagine losing a 50tb drive because you choose to use Seagate.

CAN WE PLEASE JUST GET 3.5" SSDS. PLEASE

Great, can't wait for it to be affordable in 2050.

Can't wait to see how these 40 TB hard drives, a wonderment of technology, will be used to further shove AI down my throat.

Oh wow does it come with glowing green computery looking stuff like in the picture

I can't wait to lose even more data when this thing bricks
