FYI there appears to be a limit associated to Address. I couldnt not figure it out for the longest time until I changed address on my second order. Observations:

- max order of (3) for non-business account on first tranaction to Address1
- able to get to checkout (1) additional drive to Address1 for second transaction
- anything with qty 2-3 to Address1 for second transaction returns an error and cannot continue
- order for (3) drives to Address2 on second transaction has no issues

Here is the previous post for information on the 15% off coupon and various discussion regarding the drive:

Ok, so instead of $14.285/TB, it's actually $28.57/TB. And then when (not if) one fails, it will cost even more when you have to replace it.
Spinning drives fail so often that my samsung 750gb drives from 2006 are still working fine. Any day now!

What cost do you put on losing all of your data?
You can loose all your data on flash or cloud based storage just a well…. Hardware failures, loss of control / ransom ware, automation mistakes, bitrot, etc.

3:2:1 You should have 3 copies of data, two different types of storage mediums, and at least one copy offsite if you want some sort of assurances against data loss.

Also, you can buy a few of these for a lot less than 14TB of flash or easy to access cloud storage. (Granted - There are a few cloud cold storage options that might make sense for one of the offline / different media ' offsite copies.)

How about decades of data center metrics showing 100s of thousands of spinning disks working reliably?

People buy ssd for performance, not reliability. Until very recently, SSDs had spotty reliability, which is still in question to this day. I had one fail myself. Meanwhile I have to decommission my old and now undersized spinning disks with a hammer because they lasted well longer then needed for their capacity.

You don't need to be lose half your space for full redundancy. I'm running unRAID on a 12 bay server rack. If I max out my capacity, I could have (2) 14TB parity drives for the other (10) 14TB data drives. I would have 140TB of usable storage and I would need to lose more than both parity drives before restoring parity to actually lose data.

Just in case anyone doesn't know, parity on a RAID or unRAID isn't enough for complete security of availability. Backup essentials to another system, preferably offsite.

Can I run games off of this? Would there be any performance issue beside load times?

I bought the 12tb for this price a month ago, thus lifting the curse and allowing this sale to happen. You are all welcome
