You must be talking about spinning discs, since we were talking about Macbooks I was talking SSDs but obviously could have been more clear about that.

But I'm probably more picky about drives than you are as well, if you're ordering $208 16TB externals. I just ordered a 14TB spinning for $350, but it's a Ultrastar. The SSD I got is the Samsung 9100 Pro, at $190 before tax.
