Disk shelf arrays can count on the Water Panther Arsenal drives for 24/7 availability even in heavy workload environments.
Expand Storage Further

It’s a green enterprise SAS Seagate Exos X20
It’s a green enterprise SAS Seagate Exos X20 in new state from 2022.Probably also other similar models.It is compatible with 6Gbps LSI and 12Gbps Microsemi/Microchip SmartHBA.It has encryption PSID.It supports being low-level reformatted, interrupted, and leave it on while turning on the main machine, but you need the proper LSI-3041 (B) or similar to retry formatting.It is better than a SATA disk. You cannot use it with SAS USB enclosures like Aoduke/Feifanzhe.

Great Drive, fast shipping
Drive was a Seagate Exos x16 drive with 1 reported power cycle, appears to be new. Would buy again!
Ninjaneer –
Works great.
Works exactly as expected. I am currently using in unraid and have not had any issues.
Vr4 –
Fast for a spinning drive.
Put this for an internal backup drive. Ended up being very fast so using it for regular edit drive.

Seems legit
My 14tb Water Panther was a Seagate Exos X14 ST14000NM0288. Perfectly new, sealed, and shipped in air bags.

ordered new sent a renewed?
I ordered a new hard drive for $309.99 and received a renewed drive. I don’t buy renewed as a general practice. Update: I increased the rating because I decided to go with the drive as is. It is working fine in my new system. It seems I jumped the gun on the review because the first pamphlet I saw was amazon renewed which confused me. It seems the drive was new according to the packing slip, but confusing with this “rebranding” process–the hard drive when opened was a WD drive a brand I like. 4 stars so far but I subtracted 1 for the confusion.
