Your link to the WD easystore 18TB is the same as the Seagate. But if both sales are valid, I'd go with the 18TB. It doesn't cost much more per TB. You might not need the extra 4TB now, but you will, soon enough. I have both the easystore as well as the the expansion, and they work fine, no issue.

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

WD makes better drives than Seagate. Had a ton of Seagate failures over the years
