          Seagate don’t manufacture any 10TB drives as SMR, try limiting reviews to just the 10TB model not the other sizes too.

          What is probably the best bang for the buck when it comes to SSD external hard drives? Haven't seen too many deals out there.

          Recent reviews on Amazon suggest this might have an Ironwolf Pro inside, it has free returns so gonna give it a go!

          I’m running an Unraid server and even when I plug in a drive via USB it’ll tell me the model of the drive inside. I’ll just Google whatever the model number is before shucking.

          You can also pre-clear over usb just in case it has issues.   
 
Not a fan of Seagate though.  Lost more than one which is why i run a nas now.

          Ran a fan on the case and it stayed very cool.  Tried another without the fan and didnt get as hot as you would think.  Maybe 2-3 degrees hotter.  I was surprised.  These were wd 12 tb & 14 tb.

          A NetApp 4246  or a NetApp 4243 . Used on fleabay. Can hold 24 drives, redundant PS, IOM etc. For cheaper than most consumer grade NAS units. Just add a SAS controller for 40 bux to your pc and run...

          At $17 a TB this doesn't seem to be a slick deal to me. Your mileage may vary.

          You should get a consumer enclosure that supports Thunderbolt or USB 3.x. 
Too complicated to get a SAS controller on a laptop. You will pay plenty for a fast one.
