Honestly they were the cheapest for the size at the time i have 6 18tb seagate exos. Bought 4 in 2023 and 2 more a year later. Surprisingly there still the cheapest for the size even though they've doubled in price.
Jellyfin server for friends and family mainly. But I've been working on getting voice and video matrix server up and running recently because fuck discord. Also have a personal email server on a domain and a password manager
I also host the game of the month servers for the boys. Pal world 7dtd valheim etc. Its nice having the option to self host instead of being reliant on enshittified propriety corporate platforms.
Really surprised that you had one of those drives fail on you. It’s extremely rare. I’d still stick with them if I were you, even if I had one fail once.
