Which 8TB Drive to use in an external enclosure for backup?
The user has a nice CRU external enclosure that supports 8TB drives, and connects to their iMac with FireWire or USB.
They are using Retrospect software to back up.
There is a Seagate Archive 8TB HDD for $240 on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Sea gate-Archi ve-6GBps-1 28MB-ST800 0AS0002/dp /B00XS423S C/ref=sr_1 _1?ie=UTF8 &qid=14858 37363&sr=8 -1&keyword s=Seagate+ Archive+HD D+8TB+SATA +6GBps+128 MB+Cache+S ATA+Hard+D rive+%28ST 8000AS0002 %29
The next model up seems to be a Seagate 8TB BarraCuda Pro SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive (ST8000DM005)

The reliability of their backup is important. They will take this drive and store it off-site for some time.
Is the BarraCuda Pro more reliable?
Thanks.
