Large Capacity HDD's (6TB-20TB)

Still seem a lot of hassle to make it work considering even basic linux skills already are considered a hassle by majority. There are 10TB non-HASMR drives & their availability is also quite good in general so in my honest opinion, compared to the 10TB seagate barracuda pro sold earlier here this HASMR drive deserves 10-20% discount as majority won't be able to use it here or elsewhere. I personally wouldn't buy such drive no matter the discount because I am not confident enough to make it work despite having some basic experience of running & installing linux but for those who do they can go ahead.

It doesn't look like there is any hassle to get it to work. Windows support is non-existent, yes, but in Linux you need to run 2 lines of command, even a noob should be able to do that.

Anyway, I have returned the drive to the vendor and will be available if someone wants it, knowing full well that the drive is only supported on Linux. Warranty etc. all still applicable at the pricing I listed above.

I have the following 3 drives available:

Just curious. These 2 drives are old but still having only 36 days of power on time so around 864 hours only, isn't that odd compared to the expected total power on time on exos x14? Good options though.

Well, Since I work in the enterprise as well, I know, what happens. let's say I have a server that takes 10 drives I would not buy 10 I would buy 12 - 15 because I would want that buffer on that drive failure, I have enough spares to replace with, or let's say the I only buy 10, but out of that 10 drives, I'd assign 2 drives as spare drives to be automatically selected by the controller to once a drive fails. If there have been no failures these drives are mostly left in the chassis as is for the majority of its lifetime.

Possibly the drives were taken out because the company it is from has a 5-year hardware replacement policy. so out of warranty means dumping the drives. I don't think they are tempered with, it doesn't look like it from the Smart data, I've seen drives with smart data tampering, but this one is not.
