Without question, this is the loudest external drive I have ever owned. It's so loud, man. You don't want this thing in the room with you if you're trying to watch tv or just straight up have a conversation. You can barely even sleep in the next room without this thing acting up. I had to place this beast on a soft cloth to try to absorb some of the noise. It seems to work fine otherwise, though. It transfers speedily enough. No problems in that regard. But man, this thing is soCRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH!!!! See what I mean?! Even now it's crunching away on...something. I'm not copying or opening or saving or playing or indexing or time-machining or whatever. It just likes to crunch. I'm not even lying. You gotta believe me. This thing is loud. I appreciate the 10TB of space but I wouldn't recommend this drive, and will not be buying another one. To sum up this whole review: CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH!!!! You have been warned.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this back in August and I have experienced technical issues since then. The device appears to be fine, I was able to upload up 12Tb of total data to this drive. The problem is a mechanical problem, the drive makes grinding and rumbling noises which you can audibly hear in the videos attached. All of them have had issues out of the box. I've contacted Seagate technologies 5 times since my initial issues began. I've received four replacements 3 with the same issues referenced above and the other being an issue with the cable input where I could not insert the USB cable to plugin the device to the computer. Seagate was very nice but the results are unsatisfactory to say the least. The worst part is that I'm now well past the return date so I'll have a fight in front of me to get my $350 back.

**WARNING THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY** I was looking for a few drives to add capacity to my NAS, with all the articles out about SMR and all the issues it causes with ZFS, I did som research. It looked like all of Seagates 10tb drives were CMR (which is a good thing). I rolled the door e and bought two. The case was super easy to remove, no glue holding stuff together, just a piece of aluminum tape. Inside was a Barracuda Compute Pro (as expected). Removed the USB3 interface, and popped them in my NAS. They spun right up, and easily added to my pool. Haven’t had a problem since. Keep in mind below the 10tb Seagate does use SMR (really meant for archives, so ideal for a backup drive) this will cause slow write times. At the time of writing this, all of Seagates 10tb+ drives are CMR and do not suffer the drawbacks of SMR.

I bought 2 of these from Amazon for the purpose of shucking them & using inside my case as internal SATA drives. To my great delight the drives inside were "Seagate IronWolf Pro 14TB NAS" 7200rpm Internal Hard Drives! (See pics. I numbered my drive & blacked out identifying #s. for pics here) ...The drives were NEW and Pristine. The model externals I bought had the STEB14000402 model number, but I notice those don't seem to be available right now on Amazon since my last purchase. The 14TB external available now is: # STEB14000400. So maybe the STEB14000402 models, at least right now, may have the IronWolf Pro's in them. ...I believe this just varies at any given time though depending on what Seagate has available at the time of manufacture. But you will get I think, either these 7200rpm IronWolf Pro's OR an Exos 7200rpm drive in these externals no matter what the model # is for the 14TB external. ...It seems to be just "Luck of the draw"! In any case, shucking took 5-10 minutes and the drives do not need any special partitioning or formatting etc. once shucked and installed as bare drives. Windows 10 recognized them the same as when they were attached via USB 3.0 and they are VERY fast! ...The NEW Ironwolf Pro's are around $200 - $250 MORE if you buy the bare drives. By shucking the externals, you will save a BUNDLE. However, as most who would attempt this know, you will VOID ANY WARRANTY on the drives. The case tabs are going to break when they are shucked/removed from the external enclosures (They are designed that way!) ...So you COULD still put it back together to use for yourself for other drives etc., but you could NOT put the original drive back in and send back to Seagate for warranty repair. They would KNOW it had been shucked is the point. But any drive failure would most likely occur after the 1st year anyway, and that's all the Externals are covered for. ...Just be sure to check your new external using "CrystalDiskInfo" and maybe "Seatools" before shucking to check for any issues or bad sectors etc. that it could have left the factory with. Check them BEFORE you remove from enclosure! ...These do work great and very fast as just USB 3 externals btw. But if you're brave enough I say "Shuck it"!

My 16TB model came with an Exos X16 inside. The performance of the hard drive was great as expected with a 16TB Exos X16.
