Even though the new 22TB Seagate externals use Barracuda CMR drives with HAMR technology, they're still built as desktop-class drives, not NAS or enterprise units. Their workload rating, vibration tolerance, and firmware are tuned for light, single-drive usage — not RAID arrays, multi-bay vibration, or nonstop 24/7 workloads.

The 22TB HAMR Barracuda is basically a desktop drive that won the genetic lottery for capacity but failed every fitness test afterward.
Yeah, it's CMR and HAMR — cool — but the workload rating is so pathetic it might as well come with a warning label:
"For light use only. Like… VERY light. Please don't stress me out."
Put this thing in a NAS and the moment a RAID rebuild starts, it'll be in the corner having a panic attack, filing HR complaints against your other drives.

Despite the cutting-edge HAMR recording tech, the drive's workload rating and reliability specs fall far behind what a NAS environment demands, making it a poor fit for anything beyond occasional archival or general storage.
