I bought two of these last week when they were on sale to shuck and put in a 2-bay NAS for RAID 1. I was seeing speeds in the 230-260 MB/s range on the outer diameter pretty consistently. Temp wise, they run about 47-48C for me under load. My assumption is that since these are hermetically sealed (helium filled), they use the same hardware and components as ironwolfs/exos drives, but are binned due to "some" issue. I expect for light home use they are going to do just fine for years to come.
Edit: I should also add, if you visit the Seagate website on your mobile device (and possibly incognito), you should be presented with a newsletter signup offer for an additional 10 percent off.
Edit 2: It seems they have killed the ability for the newsletter code to apply to already discounted products.

Got two last week. Shucked one and it's a Barracuda. I'm not shucking the other, but I'm guessing it's the same. Don't buy these expecting binned Exos.

Safe to use in NAS? I understand these are binned exos but not sure how safe they are

I bought the 20TB and used PayPal (linked to my cc) and was charged a foreign transaction fee, apparently the PayPal merchant is Seagate Ireland.

For anyone that doesn't know, Helium and drives 14TB and over typically use this tech and they CANNOT be recovered. I know most people are smart about having backups of backups, but I am just saying this out out. I had 2-14TB drives that were helium filled running as backups of each other, and they both failed. I thankfully have this data on other drives, but it was still a wake up call to never trust these bigger drives simply for the fact that they cannot be recovered. Some glimmers of hope of some possibly companies recovering them overseas, but its not easy now.

I'm considering grabbing 1 or 2 just to throw into my redundancy mix.

Unfortunately their coupon's terms say "Discount does not apply to already discounted products." It didn't work for me.

CMR-HAMR thankfully, they don't make SMR drives at this capacity. SMR is terrible.
