Yepp, normally would be a bummer but it is still under warranty. That said I had no idea how long that process is going to take (Seagate has the drive atm), so I wanted to swap it with a new one then just add whatever Seagate sends back on top of my pool (only around 70tb! Need a better NAS chassis...) but 18tb Exos have shot up $100 since I bought one last year. Found a different random brand (shout out diskprices.com!) for the same as old price, slapped that in, parity(cus Unraid) rebuilt.
Just waiting on the warranty drive, then I get to rebuild parity again.
If I didn't find that cheaper 18tb may have been enough to tip me towards decommissioning it.
Rosewill has a badass server chassis, 24 hot swap SAS bays w support for NVMe. I'm eyeing it for my next upgrade lol
