Meant to post this a week ago, Amazon only but other sites like this probably 
exist.
https://diskprices.com/?locale=us&condition=new&capacity=11-12&disk_types=external_hdd,external_hdd25,internal_hdd,internal_hdd25,internal_sshd,internal_sas

And 12TB starts out a bit cheaper per TB than the 2TB I ended up with. Not to 
bash or defend Seagate but recently had a 15 year old 1TB Seagate fail. 
(Backed up) Think Constellation is a higher grade than Barracuda? New 'old 
stock' so research part numbers which I failed to do.
