Spec-wise? Comparable on paper. Real life: Not at all. We use the SAS versions of these at work and they have BY FAR the highest failure rate of any of our drives (for reference we also have 12TB WD Red Pros, 1 failure over 3-4 years). We've had 4 failures on these over the past ~2 years. All of these are running SANs with 24/7 on time, no dirty (or even clean) shutdowns. Unfortunately HPE used these as their rebranded "official" drives but we've had both the HPE and non-OEM Seagate versions fail. Even the ones that haven't actually "Failed" have had random metadata issues that I've never seen on any other SAN drives. To me the price drop is because they know these are absolute garbage...plus they're trying to push the 16TBs instead.

Someone posted a good external dock before, anyone have suggestions? I'm running out of storage for 360 videos and it's a pain. I think the docks are the best solution as I can use bare drives which is supposedly cheaper and better? Using a combination of external drives right now and it's bulky

This is a pretty good price, probably the best you will find at the moment. But it's not unusual for the external USB drives to be a lower price. That is why people are always talking about shucking them.

For an external USB dock I have had pretty good luck with the Inateck 2-slot USB docks.

Is this drive equivalent to WD RED PRO?

Wouldn't recommend using an internal drive as an external one. One drop off the desk and your data goes bye-bye.

Put together a budget storage system using unRaid or TrueNAS. I run unRaid and love it.

Have not used Seagate for several years.

Just wondering how about their quality control of the Exos series?

Thanks!

Exos and Ironwolf are about the same quality as WD Red drives, and generally are NAS-quality (for frequent reading off of disks).

I have a few ironwolf drives that I shucked from some externals. They work great. Plus - 7200RPM is nice as the White label shucked drives tend to run at 5400

That depends on the White label, some are 7200, some are 5400. That being said afaik all high capcaity drives are 7200 RPM. Not to mention the debacle with 5400 RPM marketed drives actually being 7200. Having used a fair amount of these at work and WD Reds (Pro and Standard) at home and work I can say these are NOWHERE NEAR the same quality as a red drive.

the IronWolfs are similar to Red Pros. These compete with the Golds
Exos have enterprise Error ratings < 1 in 10^15 vs 1 in 10^14 for Reds
