Technically, that workload rating is for the Barracuda, as the Expansion lacks that spec entirely. As for the claim that shucking activates a 5 year warranty, that's just totally absurd.
I think you need to get a new friend. BTW, the drive may still be adequate for your purposes, just please don't spread misinformation.

I guess I should add that these are usually stuffed with barracudas that have a high failure rate and don't have 24/7 duty cycles so use at your own risk. I'd personally spend a little more and get an enterprise or NAS drive than gamble with buying twice and going through the setup process twice and deal with the potential for lost data.

Do you think it's worth returning the 14TB and getting this 22TB model instead?
