Hard to guess how these compare to potential Black Friday deals and not everyone likes Seagate, but it's definitely a different market today than it used to be. Never before do I recall paying ~25% more for the same drive than I did two years prior.

Seagate has been selling the 14TB at that price since at least 10/30/25. They jacked up the MSRP to make the discount look larger; however, it is the best price for a decent new high-ish capacity NAS drive that I've seen going currently.

From what I understand, Newegg is supposed to be selling 24TB Seagate Barracuda drives for $240 beginning on 11/20/25. That said, Barracudas are junk drives these days that I wouldn't trust any of my data to.

General FYI/PSA: According to the specs, all current Seagate Barracuda 3.5" drives below 16GB capacity are SMR and 5400RPM too.
I kind of expected it to be the other way around to be honest (higher capacities with SMR), but maybe there's an issue with a relatively large amount of data that such a large SMR drive would basically never get done ('never' relative to realistic time frames that say a 9 to 5 PC is kept running for).

Personally I think the notion of 5400RPM + SMR is so problematic that I wonder what would be quicker to write to: a 4TB HDD or a reasonably decent USB flash drive (the sort I pay about £10-£20 to get say a 128/256GB drive)!

I have a few 5K4 SMR drives, with large file writes around 150MB/s but to a NAS with only 1GbE connection, ~105MB/s.

I don't mind because it's mostly WORM video files and for the externals, offline redundant backup at that.

Anywhere I need performance it's SSD source and destination drives, but redundantly backing up tens of TB of data to SSDs is cost prohibitive for my purposes.

Plus flash based products like SSDs or USB flash drives are getting more expensive every day too.

FYI, for anyone looking for new drives.

The Ironwolf Pro 14tb drives are back in stock at the Seagate store for $229.99 each:

www.seagate.com

Seagate IronWolf Pro NAS Hard Drives | Seagate US

IronWolf® Pro hard drives: Ultimate reliability for multi-bay RAID storage. 5-year warranty, Rescue Data, and Health Management for peace of mind.
www.seagate.com

It is doubtful at this point that the prices are going to get any better anytime soon due to the ongoing AI hardware apocalypse.

It goes in and out of stock. It was out of stock yesterday morning but in stock last night when I ordered. It went out of stock after I posted but came back in stock for a bit. Keep checking if you are wanting to buy one. EDIT: I got shipping confirmation!

EDIT2: UPS delivered my drive... to the wrong house! Luckily it was my next door neighbor and I was able to retrieve the package.
