Are these 7200rpm drives? I'm looking to get one for 4K UHD streaming in plex and wouldn't trust 5400rpm for that.
Yes, the Barracuda drives in the enclosures manufactured on 2/25 are 7200rpm.

Seagate drives should come in 3-packs. That way you originally have 2x redundancy, and a third one you can use as a backup as your drives fail, take all your data, and have to be sent in for "repair"..

Kind of a round robin til death kind of thing. I'm just not brave enough to risk it anymore....

sounds like production dates from 12/2024 and older are EXOS.
2/2025 are Barracuda, not sure about drives from 1/2025
Are these available for pickup at the store? (gonna check), I wonder if it's worth picking up and determining if it's an EXOS (I seem to remember reading on reddit about being able to peek inside with a flashlight and determine without shucking)... as while more a pita, .....

Too big to fail, Seagate mystery drives.

Got an Exos 10 tb from Serverpartsdeals for 130 ish. Works great in a Sabrent HDD enclosure.

There's almost no chance you'd come anywhere close to overwhelming a 5400RPM drive just by streaming.

Quote from SDPapi :
if you're not shucking and using this as a NAS, are you still running it 24/7?
yes, running 24/7. My Mac Mini M2 Pro runs as my primary workstation but also server which is the reason I felt NAS was a waste of $350. Why pay that and $120 more electricity per year when I can just run this 24TB drive via USB on my existing server.

Not that i've seen. I ordered online and had it shipped to store.

You could have a Geek Squad member run CrystalDiskInfo. The flashlight trick is good to know.

I just received two that I ordered from this most recent restock. Shipped from "FINDLAY, OH US" and both are Barracuda ST24000DM001 7200 RPM drives. The one that I ordered 2 weeks ago was an Exos that originated from "Easton, PA, United States"

I just plugged them in and ran CrystalDiskInfo. They report as ST24000DM001 which is listed as a barracuda. The first one I ordered reported as a ST24000NM002H, and after cracking it open there was indeed an EXOS labeled drive in it. If yours shipped from Ohio then it most likely is the same.
