Review on 💽 Seagate Exos X16 16TB Enterprise Hard Drive, 7200 RPM, 512e/4Kn, SATA 6Gb/s, 256MB Cache, 3.5-Inch (ST16000NM001G) by Eddie Man

Very noisy when reading and writing. Only suitable for archiving: write once, read many times. You can't rely on reliability. Always make a backup on my backup server. Windows Explorer sometimes freezes when reading the folder list and constantly shows a progress bar in the address bar. 3 months from the start of accumulation of unrecoverable bad sectors. The drive is mainly used for reading operations in the photo, video and music library. The bad sector accumulation rate is approximately 2-3 sectors per day. 8/11/20 - Drive is dead. All data on the hard drive will be lost. Glad I had a backup of it. A little over 3 months in use. Worst ride I've ever had.
