they are VERY fast! ...The NEW Ironwolf Pro's are around $200 - $250 MORE if you buy the bare drives. By shucking the externals, you will save a BUNDLE. However, as most who would attempt this know, you will VOID ANY WARRANTY on the drives. The case tabs are going to break when they are shucked/removed from the external enclosures (They are designed that way!) ...So you COULD still put it back together to use for yourself for other drives etc., but you could NOT put the original drive back in and send back to Seagate for warranty repair. They would KNOW it had been shucked is the point. But any drive failure would most likely occur after the 1st year anyway, and that's all the Externals are covered for. ...Just be sure to check your new external using "CrystalDiskInfo" and maybe "Seatools" before shucking to check for any issues or bad sectors etc. that it could have left the factory with. Check them BEFORE you remove from enclosure! ...These do work great and very fast as just USB 3 externals btw. But if you're brave enough I say "Shuck it"!

That isn't the case anymore. When I went back into my Seagate account to add the two I just bought, I noticed that the other 3 now showed warranties had ended in 4/2020. Same happened when I tried to add the new ones. Other I drives I had were now accurate. I removed all the drives, and re-added them with the Expansion S/N's, and all obviously still come up with their respective 1 year warranty expiration dates.
Moral of the story? Still a great drive at better price than can be had otherwise. The shorter warranty is what it is; it sucks, but doesn't really surprise me. Just want others to be aware of it :-). However, if you intend to use the X16 without the included Expansion case, you had better hang on to that case for a year (or at least the bottom half if you have more than 1).
Due to mathematic differences, every 1GB you lose 70MB thanks to stating it in base10 for us but computers use base2.
Next, yeah the drive is loud. It’s annoying. Luckily I am using it around noise so it’s mute to me.
Performance is good.
Not sure on reliability yet.

For those of you interested in the speed of this drive I didn't run bench marks but instead decided to put it through real-world use case of backing up files.
I took an assortment of data ranging from pictures, documents audio files, isos etc and timed the transfer from a server running ZFS with 2 mirrored pairs (4 X 4TB NAS drives). This data was approximately 245GiB. It took 31M 54s to complete
Rough math breaks that down to approximately 7.7 GiB/minute or 127MiB/second
Next I took media files that were all over several hundred MiB. I transferred 8.5TB in 15.3 hours.
That is roughly 555GiB/hour or 9.25GiB/minute or 154MiB/second
I thought this was impressive that over 15 hours the drive did not suffer any speed slow down on the big files.
From the hardware, the case is ok, but it lacks any active cooling and the case itself feels like plastic. That means it does not do a fantastic job of dissipating the heat. As I do not plan on using this drive constantly, but rather as a drive that goes in a fireproof safe, this is acceptable.
NOTE: the command 'blockdev --getbsz /dev/sdd' which gets the physical block sizes of the drive reported 512 bytes. I'm shocked at this as I thought most modern drives had moved to at least 4096.
Overall this drive performs well for the price and will serve its purpose
Je le recommande à quiconque serait intéressé, le prix est cher, mais la qualité est là, et comme on dit chez moi :
La qualité n'a pas de prix !
