These (26GB) are EXOS Enterprise drives not the crappy non-Pro Barracudas like the 20-24TB models with only 1-year warranty. Seagate doesn't make a 26TB Barracuda.
I ordered one, says it'll arrive Thursday. I'll update this post with what I find inside.

Edit: ST26000DM000 mfg date 02/2025. Seagate website indicates the serial # on the drive is a Barracuda w/ 1yr warranty. Oh well, looks like the days of discount exos are gone, and I'll be returning this one.

price per terabyte is $11.54, it's almost as low as it can get for a new hdd, very tempting
I'll watch this thread closely, once it confirms it's an exos inside I'll jump

Nobody thought there was 24TB barracuda prior to Seagate updating there tech sheets recently and people started reporting after running crystal info and/or shucking so I think same situation here.

Any hard evidence ie actual shucked label hd pic other than speculations?

I wasted two trips to Bestbuy to return barracudas.

First time seeing this 26TB available, it's not even listed on other sites like amazon, b & h, microcenter

Yes but there's a good chance these are unannounced Baracuda's given what happened with the 20TB and 24TB expansions.

You can't say this with any certainty, because when the 24 deal came around "Seagate didn't make 24TB barracudas" either.
