Anyone knows what kind of driver is inside the housing (hopefully a NAS drive so it can be shucked )?
For the most part, from what understand, nearly any 3.5" hard drive can be a NAS drive (some might require pin/tape manipulation for power purposes... and some have more optimal specs than others, but...).
The question then should be moreso -- can it be shucked? It appears to based on the quick search I did. Screenshot attached.
In previous deal threads, people were saying they got a Seagate Barracuda drive. Some seem to prefer the EXOS.
Ordered two. That's 44TB raw for $431.98 after the 10% discount (pretax). That sneaks right under the magic $10/TB bullet so I jumped.
Don't forget [email protected] c@$hb@ck is offering 2.4% at seagate (only offer I could find). It's not much, but, pushes my total to $421.62 ($10.36 cheaper) or effectively, $210.81 per 22TB drive.
yeah, exactly as expected. I had a slight "disagreement" with someone over the meaning of a 1 year warranty, and ultimately it's always related to the confidence level the vendor has in the product. He was not qualified to assess the meaning and practices, but he wanted to argue with me anyway. That's SD for ya....
Seagate uses 1 year because they know they're going to have many/increasing failures in years 2+ and they don't want the liability. After working for manufacturers, it's really that simple. If they had confidence in their product it wouldn't hurt to offer a 2,3, or even a 5 year warranty, but they know they sell turds in a box.
I don't think I'm ever buying a Seagate product again, unless it has a decent warranty.. IOW, that probably means "never".....
