Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The exos x16 is a helium-filled, 9 platters, and have none of the drive bay limitations enforced on the ironwolf pro and ironwolf models. I have 6 in my nas that is 5ft away. It's also big enough for my massive collection of movies, shows and music wi... Read More

The drives are brand new, still factory sealed, and we’re packaged well. Plastic fittings on either end to suspend the drive within the box. The drives purchased here have the full 5 year warranty.

This hard drive is designed to handle multiple read/writes tasks at the same time. Temps are decent even during prolonged writes.

I like to have them spin down after 15 min of inactivity (a debatable practice i know). The msi desktop is whisper quiet. Other than that the drive is very quiet.

Cons

Was recognized by disk management in windows 10 but would not initialize. Bought this 6/24/22 but could not install until today, 9/2/22.

Received cyclic redundancy error. Instead will return to amazon and replace with western digital red pro. Seagate's warranty website is non functional. Returning for a full refund.

Quality

I’m pretty happy with the product and seller.

Already owned a 8tb exos and it's still working fine after some years, let's see if this one keeps up with the quality.

Unfortunately the product didn't work when it arrived and appeared defective - 'stuff' happens.

Seems unlikely that seagate even produces a "consumer style" package for this class of product.

Price

And the price is exceptionally reasonable at just over two hundred bucks.

Even if it were to fail in a few years i'd likely get another one, because the price is so reasonable.

The price is also meager $210 - $15 per tb!

Got mine for 199$, so for that price 14tb is a steal!

Shipping

Credit to the seller, who provided a shipping label for return and issued a quick refund.

Competitiveness

I purchased 4 of them to put into one of 3 supermicro sys-5018r-m 1u servers.

Im using a synology diskstation and the drive runs quitely and ive had this modle for close to a year so far

I bought a exos x16 14 tb from the seller hyperhawk.

I have no explanation, but lately, larger exos drives are cheaper per terabyte than ironwolf drives.
