    Most folks would buy consumer-grade Seagate drives. I am having a hunch that those would not be remotely comparable to EXOS drives.

      Most people would only ever need consumer grade drives. But if you’re running a server and you expected it to last a long time with a high level of reliability, you gotta go with the server grade drives.

      The thing I didn’t realize is that EXOS drives are cheaper than other enterprise grade drives. They didn’t used to be. historically, they’ve always been the most expensive.
