Q.
5.0 out of 5 stars EXOS are noisy, but last
Reviewed in the United States on 26 February 2024
Capacity: 18 TBVerified Purchase
louder read/write noise than other drives, however I have about 8 of these running 24/7 for the past few years and only had one with an issue (replaced by seller, box looked damaged during shipment). great cost per TB, and is sufficient for media and game development.

would love SSD to get to this cost range per TB.

Reviewed in the United States on 9 November 2022

This drive runs HOT if you are writing a lot of data to it, I had to keep a fan on it while I was doing stress-testing... I suppose its to be expected from an enterprise drive designed to go in a data center with good airflow, but its a little concerning. These drives are rated to up to 60c though, so it should be okay.

Also, I am noticing very high seek and read error rates in SMART data.. Cursory research shows this may be normal for Seagate drives? This is my first Seagate so I'm not sure, but there are 0 uncorrectable errors, so I think it should be fine.

Since this is an enterprise drive, you may want to disable TLER/ERC if using in a desktop as this is a feature intended for RAID arrays not desktop use, the command on linux is 'smartctl -l scterc,0,0 /dev/sdX', replacing X with drive location, not sure what it is on windows but it should be similar except using windows syntax for drive location. This drive supports disabling TLER/ERC, which I was worried about, so if anyone has similar concerns, this drive supports the command. With TLER disabled there is really no reason not to use this drive, I'm not sure yet if the setting persists after reboot but that should be an easy fix if it doesn't, make sure to check though.

Drive's speed is acceptable, pretty good actually.

Oh, also, this drive is very quiet, I was very concerned reading all the reviews saying the drive was loud and I was basically expecting an explosion when it spun up, lol. But it is pretty much totally quiet, even writing I can barely hear it. Maybe if it was like 6 inches away from you it might be noticeable. I can't hear a thing in my case which is 3 feet from me. Spin-up is a bit noisy but after that it is fine. No more noisy than any other drive I've had. Note that the drive I got was manufactured in 2017 (darn resellers) maybe newer models are different, but I doubt it.

Despite DOM 2017 the drive I got is running the latest firmware, which is nice.

All in all, supposing nothing goes wrong in the future, these drives can't be beat for the price point and value they offer. Just make sure to give it some good airflow if you are writing a lot of data at once, and disable TLER for desktop use.

EDIT: depending on workload this thing can indeed get quite noisy. I didn't notice it at all writing random data to disk for testing, but when automated backups run this thing churns out some serious noise. I assume this is the head(s) accessing random parts of disk as opposed to just contiguous writes.
Still works good for a data drive that doesn't get much access, opening videos/music/etc is pretty much silent, but for heavy-access tasks you will want a ssd because this drive could 'drive' a person crazy.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a hard drive, nothing more, nothing less.
Reviewed in Canada on 2 August 2021

If there is one thing to say about this hard drive is the sustained transfer rate of 261 MB/s rivals early generation flash drives. It is hard to find a single drive configuration using the SATA interface that would be faster. If you want and can afford the SAS interface then there is a similar Seagate hard drive that recently held the world's speed record for sustained data transfer rate. The other defining characteristic about this drive is its storage capability coupled with the fact that it is an enterprise rated drive. That will give you 24/7 operation for a mean time between failure rate of 2.5 million hours. I am a gamer and with the current direction that games are going in, of a typical size of 50 GB or more, fast storage is all important. Installation is simple like any other current hard drive and this drive can be configured as your primary operating system hard drive or backup data drive. It is a little on the expensive side for a single hard drive but when weighed against it performance and size it is a good value for the money.

Reviewed in Germany on 6 December 2023

A bit noisy, but honestly barely noticeable in desktop PC. And huge storage. Firmware upgrade is pain in the ass, but its same for all HDDs (and probably unneeded). And great value for such huge storage capacity.
