ugh, sorry to hear that.

Had a variety of seagate Exos x16, x18, and Ironwolf drives shucked from expansion desktop drives over the last few years. They’ve worked well enough for home lab and media server use. failure rate not bad enough to complain about.

Did you register it and check the warranty period? If so, RMA the failed drive back to Seagate. They've gotten really good at replacing failed Exos drives within the warranty period. Of the 24 Exos drives I have spinning: 4 RMAs in the last 4 years. One failure was for a previously RMA'd drive.
