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.

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".....
