I ordered 3, returned 2 and shucked 1 to toss in my NAS with an exos from a previous order. It's quite, runs at 7200 RPM, and didn't have any issues after a 2 day long self test. With a Synology DS1522+ set to max performance fan speed it runs ~4c hotter than the exos at an avg temp of 42c when writing, but light read/Idle is down to 33c and the exos is 32c. No noticeable difference in throughput in the array. When it was still in the enclosure it shipped in, I tested and saw ~240mbps write vs the exos @ ~270, and 48c max temp vs 40c for the exos.
I've heard of some people getting lucky and finding an Exos drive in the enclosure, but that seems to be for the earlier models manufactured before 2024. In my opinion, what you are most likely to get with both 20TB and 24TB is a Barracuda CMR 7200RPM drive with 512MB cache and a measly/terrible/unacceptable 1-year warranty [seagate.com].
I have the 20TB STKP20000400, and it has been working fine for about 2 months now. However, they are loud and slow when waking up from sleep/spindown; I would dare say they are the loudest externals I've ever owned. However, once they are initiated/started, they are quiet and quite quick. (I'm getting 250-300MB/s transfer speeds; the fastest I've experienced for externals.)
Overall, these are fine for typical backups and light Plex Media Server usage (I've been watching/streaming 4k content just fine for nearly 2 months now with the STKP20000400). However, for shucking and NAS applications, I would not recommend these due to the anemic 1-year warranty and Barracuda drives' terrible reputation.
Drive inside: ST24000NM002H-3KS133 (Exos)
Oh, and it comes with only 1 year warranty - which is disappointing and way less than the refurbs I bought from serverpartdeals (though the prices for server part deals now went up)

These likely have a 2025 manufacture with Barracudas

the new external drive gives you 1yr of warranty. replacement is a refurb from seagate.
a refurb gives you 2yrs warranty (SPD or 5yrs from GH). warranty replacement is another refurb.
BB's $280 24TB (barracuda/exos crapshoot) is comparable with SPD's $280 exos 24TB refurb, price wise.
after returning the 3 24TB barracudas, i'm spending my $$$ at SPD.

Dead quiet, external, absolutely massive (so no need for multiple drives), EXOS enterprise reliability, had free $10 BB gift card so brought it down to just under $300.
Only takes 6 watts which 24/7 equates to $22 a year for me. This was the right drive for me.

Returned and unopened Seagate 24 which looked to be a Barracuda.
So back to the waiting game. Need about 20x2 for movie backups.....
