It is recertified by seagate with a 2 year warranty. Very reputable by seller since they get 1000s of these drives a month from seagate
X18 14TB has more platters, is faster than the X16 and more reliable
BTW, how are there so many recertified/refurbished drives a month if they're so reliable?

The store I posted gets them from Seagate and are recertified from Seagate and sold to the seller. The drive comes with a 2 year warranty through the seller/manufacture since they probably have a great partnership with seagate.
If you buy refurbished its through the seller only which is a 90 day warranty.

If i had the choice to get a drive now it would be
X18 14TB
X18 18TB
If I wanted to save money but have more storage I would get a X16 16TB , it would mean lower speeds and have less platters than the X18
They even have 18TB X20 and 20Tb X20 out now. I am not wasting 400-500 bucks though, even if they were on sale for 300-350 I would wait until the price drops to 250.
I know what i am talking about ,
Hitachi and WD are great drives and equal to seagate. A home user will never see the difference on how many drives or what drives die in the future unless you are running several petabytes . Like i said I own over 2000TB , have 2 unraid servers, and several desktop PCs running 24/7 and only had , one 18TB X18 Seagate CMR die "died within 2 days" and have had a few SMR drives die over the years.
If a drive fails it will be within a week after you write several TB to it. SMR drives seem to just randomly die when reading and writing they are POS and thats why Target, bestbuy, staples, walmart , officemax , love to carry these things , because they are probably marked up 50-100%

Either way they have a 2 year warranty and hell alot cheaper than 99% of the slick deals out here.
Id rather pay no tax too.
If you can get me 18TB for under 250.00 where i can shuck it , i would be in , but good luck with that when you go to get warranty. You will most likely be denied. Try shucking a best buy WD enclosure and putting it back without breaking clips. When you send it in they will see this and deny you warranty.
Seagate enclosures are easy to shuck and next to impossible to screw it up when you take it apart.
Id 100% go with seagate enclosures as sometimes I actually got 10TB /12TB Ironwolf drives in them.
Consumers and Enterprise data centers buy Seagate
Seagate controlled 43% of the HDD market last year, according to Coughlin Associates, while WD ranked second with a 36% share.
If you are using a NAS i.e. synology , or supermicro backplane, the drive will work fine with the pin. In a desktop you will run into the issue where it wont get recognized.
I would not trust amazon , using square trade or whatever they use
also good luck returning something from amazon that is IT related the CIS department will harass you for making a return after awhile. Newegg could be the same. personally if you can buy in store do it , like micro center.
Ebay is great since you are protected by Ebay.
cd /dev ; ls # to check which disk is attached.
umount /dev/sd** #where* is the device you're trying to mount
sudo badblocks -b 4096 -wsv /dev/sd** #this is a destructive process, all data will be lost on the target disk. This will give you a piece of mind.
They all should work with the pin install on enterprise JBODs with backplanes, and consumer NASs.
It applies to drives found in the enclosures but not sure about the OEM drives
