💾 Seagate 10TB Helium Internal Bare Drive (ST10000NM0016), Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD, 7200RPM, SATA 6Gb/s, with 256 MB Cache Review

This is an enterprise-class server drive. It differs from a desktop drive in that it is more reliable. In the past there have always been complaints that the guarantee is only 4 years or that the label does not match the picture. My drives were purchased between August 2018 and October 2018 and I have not had this issue. My drives looked exactly like the picture and Seagate's support/warranty website says they are guaranteed until 2023 (5 years from date of purchase). Expect them to make more…

I am giving an average rating here until the warranty issue I submitted is resolved. I will adjust my rating accordingly when I receive a response from either the seller or preferably Seagate. Mounting a strut due to missing center bolts was just a minor annoyance, but still a reason to drop the star. Once that was done, the drive was immediately recognized by Windows and formatted to 9.09TB as it should have been. What really bothers me is that checking the warranty length on the Seagate…

These 10TB helium drives were recently introduced (as of July 2016 they only lasted a month), so reliability is unknown. Performance is as expected at 7200rpm. High performance drives with a density of 1.4TB per platter ie very good. HDTune read speed is 244-109 MB/s. (193 on average). Access time 11.6 ms. The URE has a 10^15 rating, which is a good rating to get from this type of drive. The drives are fairly quiet and helium-filled, and run cool in a low-fan NAS or on a moderately-ventilated…

When I unpacked the hard drive I was surprised by the quality of the case and would have given it five stars for build quality. However, as one user noted, the noise level of this drive is unacceptable. As soon as I turned on my ESXi server, I heard a new drive beep, but my WD Reds were silent. I thought it must be the boot function because as soon as the host powers on, the hard drive goes silent. However, once I set the drive to format, the noise coming from that drive became unacceptable…

It seems people are only complaining about a shorter warranty than advertised. Apparently, this is just a nuance of the sellers on Revain - they receive a guarantee from the manufacturer, and then resell the product, so the guarantee clock is already ticking. If this isn't a problem for you, but not a problem for me, then there's an easy way to work around this problem. I also read that someone received the wrong product. This has happened to me in the past with another seller who sold a…

My first clue that something is wrong is that this item was only seconds after I opened the package. The label didn't even match the picture. Seagate Exos is shown on this product, but. The drive model number in the image is a Seagate Enterprise Capacity drive (which matches the actual drive). Thus, the image was clearly edited with Photoshop; which seemed strange. Then I decided to check the warranty status with Seagate. And surprisingly, the drive doesn't appear to be covered by a Seagate…

Good: We have been supplying Seagate drives to customers for many years. They were reliable. Inadequate management by Seagate: (I am hoping for a response from Seagate. These matters are not under the seller's control.) 1) Limited Warranty: The Seagate Enterprise Exos ST10000NM0016 10TB hard drive shipped was manufactured more than 8 months ago. That means we don't get a "5 year" guarantee, but only 4 years 4 months. When we checked the warranty using the hard drive's serial number on the…
