What happened
Tom's Hardware reports a Newegg deal on a Seagate 16TB external HDD at 0.025 cents per GB, priced $50 below its Prime Day sale price. The article is a storage deal post, not a technical review or reliability test.
Why it matters
If you keep local dataset snapshots, VM backups, or media archives, a 16TB single-drive deal can lower cost per GB, but the text gives no durability, speed, or warranty detail; treat it as a secondary backup tier decision, not primary storage. There is no Malaysia-specific angle stated.
Discussion angle
Would a cheap 16TB USB drive change your backup plan, or do restore speed and single-drive failure risk keep you on cloud/object storage?
