Not what I need.

8tb externals I have.

I wanted 5 year warranty drives for internal use.
Yeah I'm sure they don't have that long of a warranty, however if you already have external drives of your own, you could always just take off the enclosure and use them as internal drives.

I have a backup system  that involves 2 nas enclosures  and 4 external drives..

Nas a is copied to external drive a
Nas a is copied to nas b
Nas b is copied to external drive b


at this point in time
 Nas a has all new parts
 External a is new
 External b is new


but the enterprise drives in NAS b are 6 years old

it is time to replace them

I have two unused matching Seagate 8TB model STEB8000100 with cables which I could send you shipped for 300$. I know this might not meet the quality of drive that you are looking for, but let me know if you are interested.

looking to get a pair of hdds for a nas build.

I like higher quality longer warranty models  these are all 5 year models

here are newegg prices

Seagate IronWolf PRO 4tb or 6tb      4tb   175    6tb 223

HGST 4TB HUS724040ALE640 UltraStar 7K4000 HDD  4tb or 6tb  the 4tb is 236 the 6tb is 257

Wd red pro WD6001FFWX    WD4001FFSX   the 4tb is 190 the 6tb is 220



so I would buy  any pair of the above if you can beat newegg
