These Seagate 12TB external hard drive are excellent.
They are equal to the WD that according to crystaldiskinfo it is 5400 revolutions. I currently have more than 5 disks running and they reach a write speed of about 170MB / s and a read speed of approx. 200 mb / s.
I recommend buying these External hard drive!

The Seagate Expansion can often be had for a nice price. I deducted a star because Seagate limits functionality in Linux with respect to reading temperature and sleep functions. (WD HDDs seem to not have this issue.) I notice that this HDD sometimes goes to sleep in Linux but I need to keep it awake at all times for Chia plots. The solution I found was to write a small file every 5 minutes or so with a crontab job.

Best support I have ever gotten. No hassle on returns or replacement. Especially since it’s free. Hope they don’t change the terms.

Finally an external Hard drive that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. This drive works. Plugged it into my windows 10 pc drive instantly was recognized. No problems and easy to do. The only thing I did was rename the drive so I can easily recognize it from my other drives.

Good value at previous price point. Hopefully this will Fall back to something much closer to $20/TB.
