I just purchased 5x 20TB of this drive from this same seller and it was the best packaging on HDs I've ever gotten.

If you're holding out for WD Red deals for your NAS, this might be worth watching:

I need to pull the trigger one one for my plex drive. I'm just so cheeaaapppp that $175 seems like a lot of a used drive.
I'm running 3 of the recert Exos 16TB drives on my NAS. They work great. No worries at all

I have a Synology NAS with four 8TB WD Red Pro's currently and I'm approaching max capacity. Been looking around for a couple days to upgrade and after seeing some reviews, decided to roll the dice and try out two of these drives, keeping two of my Red's in place for now. Thanks OP

the x20 Exos you bought is from the same seller that I'm posting ..

I agree that he packaging is insanely good..

I bought the x18 Exos (18tb ) because of the lower price point (Exos < $10/ TB). I do feel that the prices of drives will continue to fall and I'm waiting for the x20 Exos (20tb to drop below $10/TB price point )

I have a xpenology box that i made way back then.. it has gone from 5TB x 2 drives to 10TB x 2 drives..
(5tb drives came from shuck WD, the 10TB are also shuck drives.. all CMR/PMR)

Decided to buy a 920+ Synology NAS about 18 months ago.. at that point in time the cost of drives was crazy high so i used 4 old hdd and man are those suckers noisy.

I'm still testing the 18tb drive from this deal..
(seagateTool via USB bootable, took 27hrs to complete the "Long" test)
both HDD pass Applause

The next set of test I'm performing is the Write/Read test using "h2testw"
(it states 18 hours)Cool

I'll be buying more later as prices drop..

I bought 4x12TB Exos x16 for my unRAID server, and one of them failed the S.M.A.R.T. checks when i precleared it. I emailed their customer service with the logs, and got an email with a shipping label the next day to RMA. All drives, although recertified, had 0 hours on them according to S.M.A.R.T.

Would buy again, and seriously considering this deal now.

Not to throw fuel on any WD vs Seagate argument, but so you know, my 14 drive unRAID array now has 4 Seagate Exos drives in it. Two are Exos refurbs.

These are not the 1.5TB Barracudas that burned a lot of us, especially me. I was off of Seagates for a long time after. But I also lost a lot of those WD Green drives as well.

My Exos have been rock solid. Good temps. All show He filled. Had 3 of them over a year.
