Great to hear it! How warm are they? If they are decently cool, then I think we've confirmed they are a helium drive.Bought 2, ran them through UnRAID's preclear plugins. Getting full 180ish mbps on USB 3.0 ports with Read AND Write across all parts of the stress test. If these are SMR they are utterly fooling me with these speeds.

How do you figure this is 14TB?Pretty sure they cant produce 14TB drives without helium now. (And yes. This is likely a 14TB drive that looks like 12TB)
I didn’t buy and open. But there was some /r/data hoarder link that showed the P/N was identical to a 14Gb drive. Isn’t it linked in this post somewhere?
That sounds pretty cool considering there's no fan at all on the enclosure.These are in the 50C (125F) range (52,54 right now) while doing a POST-Read test while still in the enclosure.
No idea if that's HE or not.
You could just look for SMART 22 to know if it's a HeliumGreat to hear it! How warm are they? If they are decently cool, then I think we've confirmed they are a helium drive.
Does 22 show the helium level or some other helium metric?You could just look for SMART 22 to know if it's a Helium
True, but I never saw this on the smart data using cdi on my 14TB and they were helium.You could just look for SMART 22 to know if it's a Helium
I think they're just rotating through their stock of 8, 10, and 12TBs every other week, lol.Best Buy now offering the 10TB for $160. $16/TB as opposed to $15, still not bad.

At this point I think everyone has at least a 10TB, 8Tb, or 12TB of these, lol. But that's not the point.Already invested in the 8s..
I mean I've just bought a bunch of 8s at $120 to replace the old array. Not sure how to fit any other size into it now.At this point I think everyone has at least a 10TB, 8Tb, or 12TB of these, lol. But that's not the point.
