[18 TB] Put four of these in a Synology RS1619xs+ and I get 42TB of useable space in RAID 5 with full 10 GbE download speeds and about 500 MB/s write speeds. I've written at least 70 TB over the course of 1,650 hours to the array so far and no hiccups or bad sectors. It of course takes a few years to find out how good these truly are but they are off to a great start. ST16000NM000J seems to be an updated version of Seagate's 16TB enterprise drives with a bit more sustained speed. I had some bad luck with the first generation of 12TB Ironwolf drives so I'm going to be sticking with Exos for the foreseeable future, plus they are actually less expensive in most cases. 5

[50 G / 2.0 ms] Did a lot of research from HDD review websites. This 16TB Exos X18 HDD seems to be the most reasonable choice for now (great price). Not regretting the purchase - with 5 years warranty and so far so good. It is working great on my Synology 918+. 5

[1.765 lb] Doing machine learning, which needs a lot of head room. This drive gives me all I need. Easy to install and fast as needed. Should last a while. 5

[1.765 lb] I don't understand why these are not used more than WD. The MTBF is higher, the duty cycle is higher and the price is cheaper. The sound difference, if any, doesn't matter. B&H came through after I received wrong drives from Amazon. Its the best bang for the buck if you have a NAS. 5

[1.765 lb] Haven't had it running long, so I can't review reliability, but so far so good. They perform exactly as expected. A bit noisy under load, but quiet at idle. 5
