Is this Seagate Exos drive too good to be true?

I found this its the cheapest 10TB Exos drive on Newegg and looking to buy 4 of them. I will be putting them in my NAS that I use for my media library and pc backups. The price I’m posting this is $130, I’m also looking similar Exos drives that are $250 is there a difference? Should I shell up for the more expensive drives?

It’s just the cheapest type of drive there is. The use case is in large scale RAIDs where one disk failing isn’t a big issue. They tend to have decent warranty but under heavy load they’re not expected to last multiple years. Personally I use drives like this but I make sure to have them in a RAID and with backup, anything else would be foolish. Do also note that expensive NAS drives aren’t guaranteed to last either so a RAID is always recommended.
