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.

Better to buy before it's OOS than wait and miss out.
On top of that, I was recently burned by this $230 20TB deal and received a Barracuda, despite everyone claiming Barracudas only go up to 18TB and that getting an Exos was virtually guaranteed. But then Seagate updated the product spec sheet to indicate that Barracudas now go up to 24TB. Perhaps there will be another underhanded update in the future as well.
Overall, $350 seems to be the retail price for these 26TB drives now, so I don't feel like I missed out on the deal of the century. In my opinion, it's not worth the trouble of returning the drive and risking denial due to opening the enclosure. The measly 1-year warranty is also unacceptable to me.
The good thing about these low-priced drives, perhaps, is that all drive prices may decrease now due to Seagate's lower pricing. I'm especially hoping the market for refurbished, used enterprise drives will be forced to lower their prices.

I think we need to know the product code associated with the internal drive itself, to determine if it's EXOS or Barracuda. You can get this by plugging it into a PC and using CrystalDiskInfo to check. Would you mind installing CrystalDiskInfo and reporting back please?

The "DM" in that ST26000DM000 unfortunately is the code they are using for Barracudas. Therefore it's very likely the drives inside this external enclosure have been transitioned to a newly introduced Barracuda 26TB drive.
Back to the relevant topic, I'm also seeing the DM in the part number to indicate a Barracuda drive.
