You may want to avoid the 20TB as that uses SMR:

Seagate and WD sales of HDs keeps dropping (because of SSDs, etc.). Manufacturing lower capacity HD drives won't be worth it.
Yes, there's inflation, but I don't see inflation as an issue for computer electronics. I think it's going the other way as consumers will want to spend less and get more. The big push for WFH electronics has gone through. Now plants are at full capacity and eager to bring in revenues fast. Small stick streaming devices are plentiful and given away for almost free. There will be less demand for consumer high storage needs for most, though some will go the other way.
Attached chart of anticipated capacity shipments going forward.
They are 5400rpm but I still see upwards of 200MB/s read/write.
I believe that they added the easystore line to the exclusions earlier this year.
Correct for today - this should be for everyone starting tomorrow. I'm hoping I'm not wrong but apologies if I am. Worst case scenario everyone just starts downvoting it

Does anyone know if the drives are 5400RPM or 7200RPM.

There's also the extra vibrations that come with higher RPMs, which can cause issues over time.
if you were building a NAS for pure speed, you'd want SSDs anyways.
