Pro: 15c / GB is the cheapest non-pricing-mistake deal at high (12TB+) capacities
Pro: As an enterprise drive, it's more reliable than NAS drives (fewer uncorrectable errors, by a factor of 10; 550 TB / year workload; 2.5 million hours MTBF) and Exos are all guaranteed by Seagate to be CMR drives
Pro: like all 18 TB-class drives, it uses Helium sealing, so it'll run a bit cooler than non-helium drives. But if you're in the 12TB+ market, they're all helium
Pro: Longer 5-year warranty (it applies to these OEM drives, too. Newegg is an authorized reseller)
Pro: it has the required rotational vibration sensors for a multi-HDD environment, so multiple vibrating rust drives don't start interfering with each other
Con: Most enterprise drives are generally quite a bit louder than consumer drives especially if you constantly access it: anything that amplifies sound (e.g., an empty room or a large-empty rack / case) won't help. They're designed to be stuck in basements & datacenters, where thousands of fans will overpower millions of HDD clicks and seeks. We put 2x 12TB Exos drives into a long closet that acted like a megaphone and, man, even an entire floor up, we could hear it clicking. It's drowned out now (or we got used to it?), but if you usually pay more for silence (aka me), I'd find a decent enclosure or location to minimize the auditory impact
Re: the warranty, from one of the reviews on Newegg for this drive:

I've confirmed with Newegg that there will not be a re-stocking fee; they said "Newegg will take care of you" if Seagate refuses the warranty, but that's not in writing and there is no official policy.
Without a Seagate warranty, these are not a deal; HDDs go bad and I'd rather not pay $270 twice in five years.
Seriously I have brought the renewed X18 18T from Amazon at $200. Still testing using USB enclosure. It is $11.11/TB and it is cheaper than renewed HC530 $12.14. It is a little hotter and a little louder than HC530. So far, both renewed HC530 and renewed X18 18T seems to be fine for NAS build or discrete home use. If I knew there is option like those renewed enterprise HDD, I might have purchased less WD elements.
The warranty is from seller.

This is completely false. Read OPs comments.
"What is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)?
A manufacturer that sells equipment to a reseller (or distributor) for re-branding or re-packaging. The term OEM refers to most any computer component that is re-packaged as part of a complete system. Some examples are personal computers, workstations, or file servers sold by Dell, Compaq, Gateway, and IBM for example.
Thus, an example of an OEM hard drive is a Barracuda 7200.11 300 GB hard drive that was originally purchased as part of a Dell PC, from Dell. That drive could be removed from the PC and later sold - again - as a separate product. The drive label still says "Seagate" on it, but it is actually Dell's original property, and any warranty must be claimed through Dell."
In short, Newegg is provided with the warranty from Seagate - not the consumer. If the drive fails, the consumer must deal with Newegg - not Seagate.
Also keep in mind a manufacturer's OEM warranty starts when the vendor purchases the drive, not the consumer.

Read the comments, people are checking with Seagate and confirmed the 5 year warranty. In some cases, it's less, but according to other users having the receipt extends the warranty from purchase date.

Just got my drives day before yesterday (bought 2 of these) - looking forward to having more space. Just wish someone came up with a cheaper backup method.
Here's what I said: "In short, Newegg is provided with the warranty from Seagate - not the consumer. If the drive fails, the consumer must deal with Newegg - not Seagate."
Anyone can check a Seagate drive warranty without registering (https://www.seagate.com/support/w...lacements/) - what is important here is that consumers may be led to believe they can file a claim on an OEM drive directly with Seagate if it fails...

People editing video. Pro cameras shoot at very high data rates. I work in film and my edits run at 2500-3000MBps. And I do a lot of docs where you'll have 10,000:1 ratios in what's shot to what's used. Nvme is great but for the price can't match the volume. Get a NAS or fiber channel running 24 of these in raid and you'll easily hit 6000MBps in sequential reads writes. Nvme drives that big exist and even a lot larger in the same form factor but are stupid expensive. Failure rate is kinda high in my opinion for the Seagate exos enterprise 16TB. Out of maybe 40 I've put into service over the last few years I've had three fail. Warranty covered them. Swapped rebuilt array with no issues. Heavy use drives in a rack 65 degree room. But they are surrounded by a bunch of other drives. And these things are loud! I installed 4 into a small qnap NAS I put into a rack cabinet with solid wood and glass with seals around the door and could still constantly hear them ticking away. Never have I encountered a drive this loud. Not even the 10k scsi drives from the late 90s 2000s. These belong in a loud server closet.

16 TB Exos for $170. Recertified drives.
I run them in my unraid box and they are great.
I run factory recertified x18 drives in my raid 6, lost two in a year but at this price and performance it's worth it.
