Hi, so I am looking to build a nas from my old pc and I've noticed that some enterprise drives are basically half the price of NAS drives.

The drives I was looking at are:

SEAGATE ST12000NM0127 12TB for ~$156 and

WD Ultrastar HUH721212ALE601 12TB also for ~$156

For comparison aside from these the cheapest 12TB drive is a Seagate Ironwolf Pro for ~$338. The closest drive price-vise is a 6TB WD red drive. Those 2 12TB are in a price/GB league of their own and no other drive comes even close. All of them are unopened and from the same retailer, and I converted the prices to USD

So why are these so much cheaper?
