Library Storage Device – Awesome price point (2021) – Cool and Quiet – 4KN
Seagate 16TB HDD Exos X16 7200 RPM 512e/4Kn ~300 USD (2021)This has been a 100% working drive so far. It has been writing its new contents for 3 days straight now. Temperature remaining at 32 degrees C. This is Great considering I am running it at full demand for a long time. For comparison my external WDC WD100EMAZ-00WJTA0 10000.8 GB (WD My Book 10GB) has run at 48 to 53 degrees C, alarmingly hot. After this WD external is getting shucked, the enclosure dremeled open for air, or a fan physical screwed on from an old computer. Datacenter drives can be noisy and this is generally known, this drive has been whisper quiet. There are not any clicking or ticking or whizzing sounds.Mine came with SN03 firmware and SN04 was available. Updating the firmware was a pain in the ass. Nothing can be done while in windows because it blocks everything like it is a virus, thanks Microsoft. I had to boot into seagate tools and then type the one commandline. This was easy, except that it took 4 hours of searching and reading everything available online to figure out that one line!!!!!! Horrible documentaion on this, not even youtube could help. While in Seagate tools I changed my drive to 4K (4096) or 4KN logical sectors. If you do this, do it before putting data on it. The majority will not know or care about this and is not a reason to disregard buying this drive.I am traditionally a Western Digital fan. 20 some years ago I used Seagate in everything with fantastic results (I still have a couple still around shelfed as backup storage). This drive was on sale for 300 when it is normally 400. I needed a drive quickly and at a good price. NOTHING compared to it in terms of price to value ratio. This might be in part due to COVID. I have been surprised at the quality so far and may be returning to using more Seagate hard drives again.My drive is not a SED (self encrypting model) but I am running Veracrypt on it fine.

Great drives
It seems a lot of these reviews get mashed together, so to be clear, this is for the SATA III (6gb/s) 16TB Seagate Exos.These run very cool (I’ve not seen them hit higher than 32c under heavy load, but usually stay below 30 in my system)They’re not the quietest drives but they’re also not obnoxiously loud and are typically only notably audible during spin-up and heavy access.I’ve bought a couple of these and plan to buy at least a few more once the price comes down again.If you’re looking at these drives wondering what the differences are between the Exos series and the IronWolf Pro series, here’s some quick food for thought:The IronWolf Pro series has typically has the same interface, cache sizes, and very comparable read/write speeds. (I’ve personally found the IronWolf Pro’s to be a hair faster than comparable Exos drives, though the differences were very minimal.)Workload:The drives in the Exos line are rated to handle up to 550TB of reading and writing per year, while the IronWolf Pro series is only rated for 300TB per year.Data Recovery:Seagate includes data recovery services for a certain period in the warranty for IronWolf Pro series drives. This is not included by default with Exos drives and is one of the reasons the IronWolf Pro series drives may sometimes be more expensive than comparable Exos drives.Longevity:Exos Drives are rated at approximately double the MTBF(Mean Time Before Failure) as IronWolf Pro drives(~1.2 million hours vs ~2.5 million hours)Multi-Bay support:IronWolf Pro drives are rated to handle up to 24 drives in a single enclosure/raid array) while Exos Drives do not have this limitation.Write Cache technology:Some of the lower capacity IronWolf Pro series use (or at least have used in the past) have used Write-Back caching. While the Exos line pretty much always uses write-through caching.SMR vs CMR:Some of the lower capacity IronWolf Pro series use/have used SMR (shingled magnetic recording), a technology that has previously come under scrutiny for not being advertised. SMR drives are optimized for write-once read-many applications, meaning while read speeds are just fine- write speeds are typically slower on SMR drives due to the way data is written to the platters.Exos drives are always CMR and have both good write AND read speeds.If you’re looking at an IronWolf drive and not sure if it’s CMR or SMR be sure to check Seagate’s website.

Excellent Hard Drives for the Money
I’ve only had it a few days but so far so good.It is in test and will remain there for 30 days to verify reliability. Disk formats, scans and performance tests are in work. I will report back if there are any reliability issues.The warranty is valid through Seagate. Good through 3/25/2025. Maybe I got lucky but it is covered per Seagate’s web site.Update:The drive has passed all functional and burn-in testing. It has been put into service.No noise and no excessive heat. As of today it has been 100% reliable.I just bought a second identical drive and it is in test. Good results so far.The new drive also has a 5 year warranty per the Seagate website..Update 7/21/2021: No issues at all with the 16 TB drive. Runs cool with my configuration and is super fast, > 200 MB/sec.Update 7/21/2021: Received a new 18 TB through this seller. The warranty is valid through Seagate. Good through 9/26/2026. It goes into test today.Update 1/1/2022: All drives have been in heavy use with no issues. These are excellent drives.

Collegato al PC con Windows 11, mi aspettavo di verderlo dopo qualche secondo tra le perifieriche, ma rumori strani attiravano la mia attenzione nel case….Allora vado su “Gestione” e da “Gestione disco” vedo finalemente lìunità, provo a creare un volume ma niente, provo a formatttare, niente; appaiono messaggi di errori di ogni tipo… e i rumori continuano, arrivato alle 10:00, reso alle 11:30Peccato.

Esta valoración es para un par de discos duros Seagate Exos x16 SATA de 16TB nominales. Los compré para poner en las dos bahías que tenía libres de un NAS Synology 920+ que he tenido funcionando con dos discos en RAID (otros Seagate Ironwolf de menor tamaño). Asumí el riesgo de ponerlos aunque todavía no estén en la lista de productos homologados por Synology para ese modelo de NAS y lo hice porque para otro modelo inferior sí que está homologado.En primer lugar el nivel de ruido es bastante similar al de los Ironwolf. Lo sé de buena tinta porque el NAS lleva más de 3 días moviendo datos sin parar para rehacer el RAID y que la redundancia de datos quede repartida de manera que se pueda morir un HDD sin que eso repercuta a la integridad de los datos. No pensé que ese proceso fuese a ser tan largo. Los primeros dos días estuvo leyendo de los discos viejos moviendo a uno de los nuevos. Ahora ya están los 4 discos sin parar y realmente no aprecio mucha diferencia de estar 3 a estar 4 discos funcionando, pero sí se aprecia algo más de ruido que cuando había solamente dos discos instalados. En cualquier caso hablamos de un nivel de ruido de 35dB(A) a dos metros y 39dB(A) a un metro del NAS. Por la noche con la casa en silencio oyes un poco el runrun del NAS desde el dormitorio (está pared con pared con la habitación donde está el NAS), pero no te impide conciliar el sueño. La cisterna de los vecinos hace bastante más ruido.En cuanto a prestaciones poco puedo decir de momento, la capacidad real es buena, algo así como 14.9TB una vez formateado por el NAS. Quizá cuando lleve un año conviviendo con ellos pueda añadir más información de interés.

Bought the hard disk, dead on arrival

I received a harddrive with multiple bumps. It didn’t even start. Tried two different computers. I bet the product is great if bought somewhere else.
