Same price as Amazon last year. Confirmed Exos x16 inside and I have not heard of any cases that had any other drives . Wish it was just a little cheaper it being a new year but still a good deal.

Yeah, this is the lowest price I've seen in the past month that I've been looking. I almost pulled the trigger on the smaller drives at around the same price per TB. Those don't have Exos in them though.

That is what I'm doing with them. You can find shucking videos on YouTube for this very drive.

So this doesn't have the problem of powering off/going into power save mode when placed in a NAS?

What's the warranty?
I bet it isn't the 5 years that comes with an Exos.

I read that someone pulled out the Exos drive and looked up the warranty to find that it's 3 instead of the retail version's 5 year.
