I bought two of these last week when they were on sale to shuck and put in a 2-bay NAS for RAID 1. I was seeing speeds in the 230-260 MB/s range on the outer diameter pretty consistently. Temp wise, they run about 47-48C for me under load. My assumption is that since these are hermetically sealed (helium filled), they use the same hardware and components as ironwolfs/exos drives, but are binned due to "some" issue. I expect for light home use they are going to do just fine for years to come.
Edit: I should also add, if you visit the Seagate website on your mobile device (and possibly incognito), you should be presented with a newsletter signup offer for an additional 10 percent off.

I have them setup in NAS, these are bit noisy compared to exos drives I had from server parts deal. It could bother few who put their NAS on their work desks.

These drives are great overall, although I couldn't reach the speeds mentioned by other user. Mine consistently runs around 150-180 on a 2.5GBe NIC. They're great (not as great as Exos, though), and I haven't encountered any errors or failures in the past six months.

I suppose it would be a suitable choice for a beginner who is on a budget to build a home NAS. I recommend purchasing two for RAID1 redundancy.

150 to 180 on a 2.5Gb NIC? The big B is bytes little b is bits. So you are running a 2.5 Gigabyte NIC? Also the other guy was talking about actual drive speed not transfer speed over a network…. Which is going through a bunch of other layers than the storage bus and connection. Now you know and knowing is half the battle .

Thanks for the tip, that 10% works great. I tried from my phone and then two different browsers on my desktop PC before I was offered the 10% discount - I suspect searching for Seagate in Google then clicking one of their sponsored ads that appear in a row at the top of search results expedited that.

If someone doesn't want to de-case these they can get 24TB bare drives for the same price. Specifically. ST24000DM001
