I got these same drives for $220 last week. Still burning them in, but so far so good. speedy compared to the red pluses they're replacing. not noticeably louder in my server but I've heard complaints that they're loud so if you have your nas in the bedroom or tv room you may want to avoid.
They do idle around 100 degrees, a little hotter than my old drives which idled around 90, but this is with fans set to quiet.
the difference is Seagate will honor the 5yr wty cuz Newegg is an authorized reseller.
whereas you roll the dice with a 3rd pty on Amazon and Amazon itself should not be selling OEM drives.

Does anyone have experience with these? I only see one review which makes me leery of buying them.
Check your serial numbers on the seagate site. My X16s bought at this price show up as having no warranty. Going to reach out to newegg to get it figured out, but if they don't update seagate I'm going to return them.
