So far, so good.
Giving this a try after using WD easystores for a few years because of the sale price for the capacity. CrystalDiskInfo reports ST24000NM002H-3KS133 which is a SATA Exos X24 24TB. CrystalDiskMark seems to be typical. Connected to a Dell Optiplex 5050 SFF. Connection is USB Micro-B. Was formatted exFAT, registered it (Start_Here_Win.exe) before quick reformatting to NTFS. All the easystores came formatted NTFS and I haven't had permission problems. Among other things, gives me more flexibility with the label name. Only had a chance so far to run chkdsk d: /f /r > chkdsk24tb.txt in an elevated command prompt. Took about 29 hours. The majority of the time was spent in Stage 5: Looking for bad, free clusters ... Will run other tests (SMART, etc.) when I get a chance. Has not been noticeably noisy so far. Will see how it sounds with more tests and when copying TBs of data to it. Have it placed on an old case fan on standoffs blowing up to provide air circulation, as I do with the easystores.

Seagate-Expansion 24TB External 3.0 Drive The Best
the Seagate Expansion 34TB External USB 3.0 is a great addition to my other Seagate drives I use every day. It's quiet, fast and I know I can depend on it. For me it was easy to just plug & play. No formatting was needed for my PC. Quick set up and use is a big plus for me. I've had no problems with the drive and it is able to store 25+ years of photos and artwork with a ton of rum to spare. Download speed is fantastic. Love all my Seagate Drives. Never had a problem with any of them. Highly recommend the product to anyone who needs more hard drive space. Super happy with it and you will be too.
