Their enterprise drives have a negligible difference in failure rate after 5 years vs HGST/Western Digital. Basically nothing. A majority of drives we have in my datacenter (manage/design/maintain for a large organization) in our 1.4PB (petabyte) of storage that isn't solid state is Seagate. I've replaced maybe 7 drives in 5 years at our datacenter: 3 were Toshiba at least, and the rest were likely Seagate. Typically 4, 6, and 8TB capacity. It really doesn't matter. If your goal is protecting data I would highly recommend against buying this drive unless you are buying 2 or 3 of them. You should be able to lose at least 1/3rd of your drives without losing any data for your primary storage but ideally 1/2 of them. So more smaller drives in an array or pool is the way to go. My home storage cluster (maintained by my wife) is primarily 4-16TB drives in an unRAID storage pool with 220TB of usable storage. We can only lose 1/3rd of our drives before data loss but we have an off-site on the other side of the world in my mother-in-law's condo for our critical data at about 80TB of usable space but it can lose 2/3rds of its drives. All synchronized up to the minute over tailscale. We also host our own "cloud" sync service like "OneDrive" for keeping the photos and documents on our phones backed live (and because it is a bitch offloading photos from modern phones via USB).

Up until Linus ruined everyone's good time by telling every jerkoff about serverpartdeals (I will never forgive him for this) it has gotten much more expensive to have such a beefy system but we primarily still buy refurb drives. We lose about 1 drive a year at home. We use a mix of anything that is up-to-spec including Seagate at home. There is a measurable brand difference in quality for Enterprise but is the percentage point increase in possible failure worth getting a drive for 40% cheaper than the competition? Backing up data is a numbers game so absolutely not but your call. Your money - your data.

Sure, but obviously for it to really be 3-2-1 you need one of those offsite.

It's been $250 a bunch of times before, and even cheaper with a 10% discount but Seagate blocked the discount so $250 might be the best we get this year.. Maybe something cheaper tomorrow durung prime day or BF next month

CMR

It is guaranteed to be a HAMR drive, as 24TB is the largest non-HAMR CMR drive Seagate makes. BTW, LMR/PMR/HAMR is totally separate from CMR/SMR. Every drive will be a combination of those aspects.

Barracuda.

Is the Barracuda inside of this considered an enterprise drive?
