Just be prepared for the possibility of receiving damaged drives. NewEgg does crappy packing. I won't buy drives from them.

They're regular drives, just have some firmware optimization for big arrays and better resiliency against vibrations from adjacent drives. I have seven of the X10 in my system, and they're just regular SATA and power.

Yep. Consumer SATA drives are normally in the high 20's dB for noise. This drive is 32dB to 34dB. Remember decibels are logarithmic so this isn't as small a difference as it seems.

He's referring to the fact that you have to tapemod a power connector pin or use molex adapters for some drives (thought it was just some shucked WD drives but might apply to seagate as well) to get them to boot when used outside of their enclosure.
It isn't only shucked drives. The WD DC HC530 also features Power Disable. (I just ebayed one for $165 including a one year warranty. I was pleasantly surprised when SMART reported it new.)

Quote from slippydealer :
Yes, there are some Western Digital models that, when plugged into a regular SATA power connector, won't spin up at all. To make them spin up, you have to tape over one of the SATA power pins.

AFAIK, this only applies to drives that are removed from external enclosures and used internally (aka shucked). Apparently the external drive enclosure uses one of the power pins to indicate some kind of power-off condition to the drive, so these models of drive are built to power-off when that pin is high. But most standard power supplies / SATA connectors keep that pin high all the time, making it so the drives won't spin up without taping over that pin.

I very much doubt any of that applies to the Seagate drives being discussed here, though.
It is called Power Disable and is also on some enterprise bare drives. That pin is unused on non-PD SATA hard drives so PD uses it to detect whether the PSU supports PD. I'm not sure what else it requires, but PD allows the OS to power cycle the drive.

Here's Seagate's warranty agreement for business drives like this:

https://www.seagate.com/support/w...ranty-nas/
Thanks but it just adds to the confusion, and seems to contradict their OEM policy linked above. In the link you supplied, Seagate does indicates that they'll warranty the drive as it was purchased from an authorized seller, which NewEgg is. If true, that's good news although the length of the warranty is not specified. Here's the exact wording from the above link:

"Only consumers purchasing this product from an authorized Seagate retailer or reseller may obtain coverage under this limited warranty."

Thanks. Noise is a non-issue for me, being a native New Yorker. In fact, I stayed in the suburbs for a week and went nuts due to absence of ambient noise. Heck, I currently have 8 external drives buzzing away about 2' from me as well as 3 kinetic sculptures doing their thing, and a fan running on medium.

The drive noise is actually a bonus for me, especially since hearing it can tell me of the drive's health, e.g. the dreaded clicks of death.

Man, how the mighty have fallen, I remember Newegg being the please for ordering hardware, now everything I see anyone talk about Newegg, it's about their shady shenanigans and awful customer service.
Ever since first learning about NewEgg many many many years ago, there was always an issue with their rebates. Apparently, many rebates were rejected without explanation. I don't know if they've improved.

Many thanks! I'm surprised that there's no tax because the so-called Amazon Tax Law had eliminated tax-free purchases for most online sellers. Thanks for the info!

Yeah maybe they are paying taxes at the end of the year, so more savings to you.
A seller was doing this as well for an E-bike i just bought in washington state.
It still is possible if you know the right websites

Give them a call tomorrow they will explain everything to you how warranty works. They are reputable. I am buying 20-30 qty , so I can get 5 bucks off ea drive either 14 or 16tTB X16 from them here soon. Building a true nas server for my gaming rig over 10GB Lan in a 24 bay supermicro case.

Will be using 2 disk parity for 2 different pools. I should get around 1000-1500MB/s. Would like to get 192TB or 176.4 TiB reported in Windows 11
may opt for 14TB X18 because those are better than the X16s and should see a performance difference in raid

Among the big retailers and payment processors say the top 100. They are remitting taxes to those states. There are still a Thousands of small businesses and processors that don't charge out of state sales taxes.
