I've gotten practice shucking quite a few of these, and I find it to be pretty easy. Use a thin plastic tool to separate the seam and take it slow going around the perimeter. You should be using leverage but applying practically no force to separate the seam. Once you get it open, there's a sticker that needs to be untaped from the drive, then it'll slide right out of the internal SATA connector. If you get really nervous over tedious tasks, it might be a stressful ordeal. At least with these drives you don't need to tape any PINs to make then operate on a standard SATA port of a PC/Server. Once pulled from the enclosure, they are plug and play.

$10.90/TB, slightly higher per TB compared to the recent (dead) deal on the 26TB version

From keeping up with threads over the months, it's pretty much guaranteed to be a Barracuda. I ordered one because I'm desperate for bulk cold storage, and I missed the 26TB deal.

I bought the 20tb a few months back. Solid drive and pretty speedy for an external drive.

They're likely to all be Barracuda HAMR drives at this point. Over a year ago, you could still get EXOs in them, but that supply is likely long gone. Have not heard of anyone getting anything, but Barracude drives in a loooong time. Mine included. I got two, a 20TB bought when the EXOs was still in them, and over the Holiday a 26TB.

Buy it now assuming they are Barracudas? Mine would be going in a 1U server and living in a datacenter. They wouldn't be storing anything important, so data loss would be a pain, not the end of the world. I'm more concerned about immediately voiding the warranty and the drives dying quickly.

It's definitely Barracuda but the consensus on /r/DataHoarder seems to be that this doesn't really mean much because they're functionally the same drives as Exos. They don't manufacture physically different drives at these capacities... they just bin them as either Exos or Barracuda for reasons that aren't quite clear.

But people on that sub still usually prefer paying a bit more for bare drives because then you're guaranteed some kind of warranty coverage, which is unlikely with shucked.

the last time I shucked one of these, it was full of like 334 64gb USB flash drives all wired together to make a shared drive space.
