In case it helps anyone - I bought 3 of these last month from Best Buy and put them in a TrueNAS Scale server I have after error checking them. Transferred 18 terabytes onto a RAID-Z1 array and no issues reading and writing at normal speeds.

No clue if the drives are CMR, SMR or whatever. They work for me. I keep redundant backups. I wouldn't trust these or any drives without at least one other backup of the data somewhere. All drives fail sooner or later.

If only if it were a Western Digital drive. I avoid Seagate. It's a good price anyway.

Yes. I bought one and it only lasted a couple weeks before failing.

I fully agree with you. I had a 16TB Seagate Expansion Desktop that died. That was a lot of data that was lost. But luckily, that was a backup and I did not lose anything. You should always have backups. You cannot trust any kind of storage devices.

When it died, I had it for 14 months which was over the 1 year limited warranty. The box showed the warranty period for North and South America to be 1 year. The box showed that some regions around the world had 2 or 3 years of warranty. In the US you only get 1 year of limited warranty.
