Hello, I'm thinking about upgrading the storage on my server and I'm unsure which of these two hard drives would be better to import:

Option 1:

• Name: Seagate IronWolf Pro ST18000NE000 18TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gb/s 512e 3.5in Recertified Hard Drive
• Value: $179.99

Option 2:

• Name: Seagate Exos X20 ST18000NM003D 18TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gb/s 3.5in Recertified Hard Drive
• Value: $179.79

A bit of context, my server is currently located in my office and I mainly use it for media storage.

Additionally, do you think it’s worth waiting for Black Friday or another promotional event? I'm planning to buy two units, but since I'm in Brazil, any discount in dollars is very advantageous.
