Anyone any experience with the Seagate Exos Enterprise drive? Would be for NAS use.
EDIT
Exos 5E8 ST8000AS0003 is only 800k hours mtbf and 3 year warranty

Exos 7E8 ST8000NM0055 is 2m hours mtbf and 5 year warranty

Toshiba N300 NAS HDWN180UZSVA is 1m hours mtbf and 3 year warranty and around the same price as the 5E8

WD Red WD80EFAX is 1m hours mtbf and 3 year warranty and around the same price as the 7E8

It would seem then that the 5E8 isn't a good buy.
The N300 is equivalent to the Red at a cheaper price?
The 7E8 is a better option than the WD Red for the same money.
