Just started data hoarding movies, thinking about hopping on this Costco deal, opinions?

I have the Costco flier advertising the 14 tb seagate drive and it says the deals are for members 11/21/2023-12/17/2023 on the front of the flier.

How reliable are the seagate 14 tb externals?

I usually get western digital externals never bought a Seagate external.

Are these 14 externals shuckable? Probably won't shuck them since I can't buy 6 but I hear they making it harder to shuck. My last buys for recertified enterprise drives.
