Damn it, I now see that my local IT store have had to postpone delivery of Seagate drives as well, I have four 8TB Seagate NAS drives in my new NAS I am building, I just need two more to complete the build.
So looks like I am going Toshiba for the last two drives + one cold spare.
It’s good to get a variety of manufacturers + manufacture dates in your build anyways, to avoid the risk of getting bad manufacturer batches or issues with particular models that haven’t been discovered yet. As long as the specs are all similar across the board of course

That is a good way to think about it!
