Lots of storage space. Good price.
This is for a Seagate Exos X16 14TB ST14000NM001G hard drive. I've bought a few in 12TB and 14TB sizes. So far, they have had zero or very few run time hours. The ones that had run time on them had enough hours for testing but about it. They are fast, quiet and seem to work well. Only time will tell exactly how reliable they really are. So far, good drives with lots of storage space.
I'm a Linux user and the system these drives goes in runs 24/7. About the only time I cut the system off is during a extended power failure. I also use these in scaled LVM setups. During the initial data moves, these drives see extended constant access.
Also, I have no reason to believe these are SMR type drives. They almost certainly are CMR. If it was SMR, it would likely fail during the initial data move. From my research, they are CMR. Read full review
