I have 12 16tb x18 sata and works fine under win10

Western digital 18tb better choice
Check this trusted website www.martview.com/crypto

Why would WD be better than Seagate?

Seems like you are just very keen to promote that website all the time

Idem,
but In France, everything is expansive… :frowning:

Pour la France, check this topic not perfect but 3TB ones are in my opinion cheap

I only have a rig with 8 sata connection and a pcie expansion with 6,
also I only take drives between 10 and 18 TB,
then I will see for usb3 ^^? (i don’t know yet if there are fast enough)

Actually best prices can be found on Alternate (even better than amazon)
I know they deliver all over Europe…

Also https://secure.reichelt.com/ just bought an exos x18 18to 388€, not bad^^

For Chia farming? yes more than fast enough, I have 6x external 12 TB hdd connected via USB 2.0 and works fine
