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.

That is a good way to think about it!
