WD GOLD hard drives with 18 Terabyte Storage Volume start listing for 649 bucks
The race to 'as much storage volume as possible' on that mechanical HDD is just brutal, announced a while ago but now starting to list are 18 Terabyte HDDs from WD, the gold series in specific.
The 3.5-inch model WD181KRYZ is a unit to be found in the enterprise series WD Gold and seems to be priced in a 649 euros region. The spot of this HDD is interesting as WD does not even have a product page online just yet, but yeah it's already listed at etailers. In addition to the 18TB model, a 16TB model was released as well. The 18 TB version is listed as: 18TB GOLD 512 MB 3.5IN SATA 6GB/S 7200RPM
Before hitting that buy button, you might want to wait and see when the WD product page goes online, it is uncertain if the HDD will be CMR or SMR based.

What are the chances It happend to me 2 times so far, 1st time I lost 2 Hard-Drives at once just died (WD) 2nd time I lost 2 Ssd's at once 1 was a corsair and the other Amd Radeon R7 ssd. It does happen bro.
What are the chances you lose two drives at the same time, unless it due to external factors? Nobody should keep anything important only on owne drive. Of course if the model actually are faulty straight from the factory. It could theoretically happen, but such a thing would show up in user reviews, so it's not an issue, unless you are among the first people making the purchase.

Yeah, of course it does happen, but the odds are significantly lower than losing a single one. An external factor could make it happen far more easily, such as a voltage spike.

The issue is failure during a rebuild as rebuild is disk intensive. Conventional RAID 5 becomes more and more dangerous as the drives get bigger as the rebuild time for RAID 5 get obscene for drives at the limits of capacity.
Replacements for conventional RAID will become more common as these drives keep getting bigger.

Most of us home users with a few big drives do only keep all data on one drive only - just can't afford to be buying extra 30TB of backup at prices of drives here.
