Model overview based on user reviews
The Seagate Exos X18 is a high-capacity hard drive, available in various configurations, including the ST18000NM000J model, which offers up to 18 TB of storage. Users appreciate its CMR technology, which ensures reliability and fast performance, with read/write speeds reaching up to 370 MB/s. It is noted for being very quiet compared to other models, making it ideal for NAS systems. However, some users have experienced strong vibrations and loud noises during operation, which can be concerning.

Overall, it is recommended for those seeking a reliable, high-capacity storage solution, although the price may be a consideration for some buyers.
Pros
Cons
CMR Large capacity Very quiet Fast Reliable Price at time of purchase |
When the disc is turned on, the noise is simply infernal, it feels like it's tearing apart from the inside. At low writing speeds, it makes noise, creaks, and sputters. But the most interesting part is that it passes the functionality test. And under warranty, they don't take it back - this is supposedly a normal condition for this disc. 18 TB of capacity (although actually 16.5 available) Strong vibrations and loud extraneous noises during operation |

One 120mm cooler is enough for cooling, with it the hard drives heat up to no more than 30-35 degrees.
The hard drive starts up very smoothly, no clicks or vibrations, even when parked. And only during high load, if you get close to the server, you can hear the heads moving.
When copying/reading, it produces stable 270-290 MBs, sometimes it accelerates to 370 MBs.
Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good CMR drive.
