Yep, 2022. Drive looks pristine.What is the manufacturing date? Is it 2022 as shown on the photos in the listing?
Also like to add that I've bought a ton of 6TB drives from this seller and all were good,

What is the meaning of this 'issue'? You've got a matched batch of drives that performs identically, is it bad in any sense? Do you prefer them with different production date and firmware? Drives have 2 accumulated start-stop cycles one of which is yours. This means drives were switched on only once to erase any information that could accidentally be left there if any, so the drives are basically brand new! Isn't it a really great deal?Drives all look good, only issue I see is they were all manufactured very close to each other (within a day or two) and all are from the same factory.
It is only an "issue" if this run of drives or the facility producing them had a manufacturing defect. Most people recommend staggering your drive purchases / buying different drives from different vendors to prevent this potentially destroying an array down the line. Not saying this will happen but it is the only potential con I can see, drives are great otherwise.What is the meaning of this 'issue'?

Never heard of those people, but I suppose they buy 4 different tires for their car just to avoid simultaneous blowoutMost people recommend staggering your drive purchases / buying different drives from different vendors

Nice! I would equate that to better quality.Much stronger recoil from head stack assembly movement than in He10 and Seagate X14. Not suitable for bedroom PC))
It's a common best practice among drives. And for awd vehicles, running 4x different tires can ruin the drivetrain.Never heard of those people, but I suppose they buy 4 different tires for their car just to avoid simultaneous blowout
Not necessarily a defect causing an issue, but if you have an older array and one drive fails, and it was made basically right at the same time as others, the others tend to fail in the same timeframe. Or at least that's how the theory goes. I don't know from practice as I only use raid 1 if I don't just do JBOD.How often does this happen?
Yes you do.I don't need more storage... I don't need more storage... I don't need more storage... I don't need more storage... I don't need more storage... I don't need more storage...
Said no one everrrrr.....I don't need more storage... I don't need more storage... I don't need more storage... I don't need more storage... I don't need more storage... I don't need more storage...
Ok, from now on will never board a plane right from the factory cause 4 identical enginesIt's a common best practice among drives. And for awd vehicles, running 4x different tires can ruin the drivetrain.
i've heard of this happening... but not in a really long time. Last time was probably when there was massive flooding in thailand?It is only an "issue" if this run of drives or the facility producing them had a manufacturing defect.
More than likely they're not identical, especially with the massive number of parts in them.Ok, from now on will never board a plane right from the factory cause 4 identical engines
That was pretty much total factory destruction so chaos at the highest level (other than a nuclear bomb).i've heard of this happening... but not in a really long time. Last time was probably when there was massive flooding in thailand?
I end up buying my drives in singles and doubles just because of limited need and budget so it works out fine anyway.
How was the packaging on them? Even the best shipped drives may end up being doa ime.So I appear to have 7/10 good drives.
