For those of you who don't understand and are not in the business of selling 2023 hdd from 2021 (almost 3 years later), I'd like to remind you that in 2021 with covid19 we were being conned into saying "there are no more hdd blah blah blah....and their price was catastrophic" so where did this 2021 stock come from that didn't even exist? Where did digitec find them? we were told the same thing for graphics cards and the ps5 ... remember during covid19! The hdd seagate exos X are the most reliable hdd in the world and are indestructible, people having problems with them are just iron breakers unable to take care of a piece of high clockwork. The hdd seagate and wd were manufactured in Thailand in 2021 but and yes it is the whole the difference (or a part) in 2023 the hdd are manufactured in Europe in the country of the gouda quite in the north of us and are much more reliable and did not undergo 200000km of transport and their firmware and parts such the heads of reading are different. The X16 X18 X20 X22 are reliable and indestructible (not like the barracuda which are fragile and surely equipped with a timer to make them hs) but if like me galaxus-digitec sells you those with the "white" star of 2021 then there is a big problem!!!! Because they are not exos x but skyhawk reconditioned and the I do not accept that I am sold that! Moreover deception because they were cheaper and hid the tree behind the forest, the price of those of 2023 are more expensive! It's deceptive selling and it's illegal, galaxus digitec should mention that it's old stock. If you buy an LG Oled you expect the latest version to be delivered to you, don't you? Not a refurbished one from 2 or 3 years ago, that makes sense, but some people just don't get it. Those having problems after 1 hour of use with their disk should know that they exceeded the target value of use of the disk in their environments and exceeded the maximum temperature value. Having had 2 normal hdd exos enterprise that caught fire in 2016 because they were too hot and well they still work as well afterwards ...

The hard drives are SATA 3 and they work perfectly in my RAID to date. SATA 3 is not the same as Thunderbolt 3, but check if LaCie has SATA 3 ports internally! If so, then you can put them in!
