Bought one of these a while back, and I want another, only it’s like $450 on Amazon from random third party sellers. Normal price is like $260.

I want this specific drive because it’s the Plus model, meaning quieter than Pro from what I hear, and I want at least 14TB. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the supply/pricing situation is going to change, so I’m thinking about doing something drastic like buying some other HDD brand, which I haven’t done in…like over a decade.

Can someone make a recommendation? Maybe a Seagate equivalent to the Red Plus line? I’d be willing to pay more for more TBs at a similar noise level too. Only reason I don’t go Red Pro is the noise everyone says they make, so if there’s something at like 18-20TB that’s quiet…that’d be even better.
