Instant purchase, and going straight into my Unraid NAS.
No drive manufacturer has been less reliable for me than Seagate, and many have echoed this.
they come with CMRs exo
the 20TB is SMR , seagate is remaking SMR trash drives. it was a FP deal like 240 after tax.
i manage over 1PiB i know what i am talking about
The b&h terms and conditions don't seem very fast or trouble free should a replacement be needed or there is some issue...
Biased to WD also, had Many different sizes and brands over many years, only ever had seagate drives die on me...but willing to give them another shot at the price per TB for large single drives based on people saying they are essentially statistically equally reliable currently.
Seagates were probably damaged from shipment. Both companies make solid CMR drives and I prefer the seagates over WD since they go on sale more often,
Especially from serverpartsdeals , manufacture refurbs are working great for me . bought 5k dollars worth of exo 18TB , firmware is redone by seagate and never had a issue yet. I am sure more issues may arrise on year 5-6 but by then we will have 26TB under 300.00

the 20TB on FP Slickdeals was a SMR . They are remaking them. I cannot take a picture as the drive is now in my unraid server.
HAMR is the new tech for seagate t 30TB+ but all those drives are not available yet to consumers.
These are X24 Exos CMR from B&H
20TB externals are SMR!
they are x24 exos
HAMR is like 30TB+ from what i read online
also some of these drives could be returns RMA from Seagate where the label was never removed and firmware erased
My drive had a piece of tape and Taiwanese paper saying QC checked and the drive had like 16 hours on it when i checked it. I never seen this before in my life

I have seen alot of 18TB externals at one time where they put Ironwolf. Those drives are worse and slower but are still CMR.
The 20TB on FP slick deals at best buy was 240 after tax and was a SMR crap drive. I am selling mine or returning it idk
