Overall Review: I bought these to shuck them to get NAS drives at a lower price without a warranty (gambling that I won't need it). My two units (purchased May 2022) both contain EXOS X18 16TB drives (model # ST16000NM000J) which is good stuff. A smartctl long test is running right now before I crack them open and say goodbye to the warranty for good. These ship in retail boxes, so the drive is inside of its external enclosure, which is then suspended inside of the retail cardboard box with the factory packaging, and then Newegg ships the retail boxes inside of a much larger box with the extra space filled with those large air bubble bags. This is probably better protection than a bare drive would typically receive in transit from most retailers, so I consider that a plus.
