I'm considering buying this drive (link to Canadian Amazon). Currently, the price for the 26TB model sits at CA$414 (around CA$16/TB). The primary use-case would be for storing a Plex library of movies and shows, as well as personal photos and videos.

I've never used an external hard drive before -- always stuck with internal drives as I've been told that they are faster and more reliable. But I'm not sure if that's the case anymore, as USB speeds may exceed SATA by now? Plus I just haven't found any internal drives of similar sizes for similar prices.

So, overall, just wondering if this is a good deal or if folks might recommend an alternative setup for a similar price?
