Just received a Seagate Expansion 12TB I ordered from Amazon for my media server. To my surprise it was a nice Exos X18 helium-filled CMR drive.
The data sheet for the model is here: https://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/datasheets/pdfs/exos-x18-channel-DS2045-4-2106GB-en_IN.pdf
Shucking process was extremely easy as with most Seagate external HDDs; just had to pop the clips on one side of the chassis and the HDD + PCB assembly just slides out. Few screws later and you have your drive.
Unfortunately, the warranty check on the Seagate website didn't return anything for the drive's serial number (said to contact support, happens sometimes with shucked drives).
