Perfect Hard drive, work well plug and play, added to a Orico NAS enclosure now running 2 X 8TB drives

Spinning platters for storage, and plenty of it at a good price. Probably will buy again when I need to expand.

The product thumbnail showed 16tb but the actual drive was 6tb. What a ripoff!

A bit noisy, but great performance

got two of these (6TB) for 118Fr each, quite impressive pricing compared to the competition and even when compared to segate's own desktop and NAS grade HDDs.The only downside is the relatively higher noise output compared to desktop grade HDDs (which is to be expected), I'm now using them in a 2-bay NAS 3m away from me, they are definitely audible when the room is quiet, but I would not say they are more noisy than NAS drives, they might just have a different pitch.

Failed to add this drive to RAID-array (4KN HDDs)

I bought this drive to replace failed SAS HDD in an old RAID-array. Documentation says that drive is compatible with both 512E and 4KN formats. Formatted at 512E by default, but can be easily re-formatted. At this moment I spent already few weeks trying to get instructions from RAID-controller and HDD vendors to make it working. Still failed.

Good Drive but Old Stock

The Exos (SAS) line is a fast and decent drive. this is the second time I am trying to get fresh drives from B&H. They issued an RMA for my original 4 that I purchased (RAID 10 array). The first set wound up being so old that they only had 3 years left on the 5 year Seagate warranty. These new ones were not much better. All drives fail eventually. I have over 50 various drive in different devices so having new drives that have already lost 40% of their warranty is not something that I am happy with. Don't get me wrong, B&H has been working with me to attempt to get the issue resolved and the drives perform very well in critical applications but I guess that since the SAS interface is used mostly in servers the inventory has not moved as fast as they anticipated.

In my opinion Seagate could do better by having the warranty start from date of purchase (as proven by purchase receipt).

Great Value Hard Drive

I have bought two of these and am very happy with their performance. A great deal at that price. Would definitely consider more if the need arises.

No warranty

No 5yr warranty as described. Checked serial number on Seagate website - no warranty.

Strange

It seems a bit ridiculous to review a server hard drive a week after installation. I'm guessing there was no human intervention in the generation of this request for a review.This hard drive came well packaged in an easy to open box. The four screw holes accepted the screws with no problem. The hard drive slid easily into the bay.After one week, this hard drive has not failed. I give it two thumbs up.

Works well

I put 4 of these into our Synology RS3618xs+ to expand the current capacity. I had no trouble configuring them as the Synology dashboard made for quick setup. Took 6 hrs to initialize for usage but so far the drives are quick and no issues.
