I don't see any "sold by Amazon". Aren't those all OEM ?

I think Kozak means "Shipped By" Amazon, and they changed it to reflect that.

I've purchased a few of these over the past months, and the regular price I was paying is $304-$312. You can check the warranty status on Seagate's site, and every drive I've received from SabrePC and HyperHawk have had valid warranties.

We bought 5 of these a month ago, along with 5 14TB WD external drives, which we shucked. Configured each set in identical servers as mdadm RAID5 arrays (XFS filesystem). I have used the WD 14TB drives before, excellent results. But I was amazed by how much faster the Exos drive array is. I do not know if the WDs have switched to SMR or some sort of hybrid, but comparatively speaking they act like it.

I don't know anything about this reseller in particular.

How is this as a non-RAID desktop HDD for file storage?

Be aware that some of this company charges up to 50% restocking fee if something wrong returned to them.

Have you ever compared the WD Red Pro with EXOS as their pricing are very close but cache is different (512Mb vs 256Mb)?

Who needs this much storage space?

Who needs more than 640K?

Legitimate question. Not because of the capacity, but also because of the speed. 16TB data on HDD takes hours to read, so maybe only useful for torrent.

What are you talking about? The drive has a read speed of 261 MB/s and there is realistically no scenario where you would need to read 16tb all at once except to copy the drive once full, which would still take less than 24 hours. Not everything benefits or needs pcie nvme storage speeds.

I have 4 of these in RAID on a synology NAS. The volume has 41TB of capacity and is currently holding 28 TB of data. Why? I backup 4 computers weekly to it, have 4 cameras that save 24/7 recordings for 7 days, store thousands of RAW format photos that average 48mb each, and have a plex library with 1000's of lossless music files and a couple hundred movies. Not once in using these drives for all that have I thought the read or write speeds made them unbearable. Just because faster storage media does exist that doesn't mean higher capacity spinning drives are obsolete.
