Shucking a Seagate Expansion 10TB external hard drive

Shucking a Seagate Expansion 10TB external hard drive to reveal a Seagate Barracuda Pro disk inside for 2/3 of the price.

Many thanks for uploading this, I was able to successfully pop my drive *back into* the original external housing. 😎

Just got 2 from Amazon for $169 and got an IronWolf 10TB NAS st10000ne0008 manufactured 2 days apart in Nov 2020 from The Netherlands!

This is great!

[@peterm5848]

I opened a Seagate Expansion 10TB external today and found a Seagate Ironwolf Pro 10Tb inside!

[@envanligfjant]

Not bad! I've only seen people report Barracuda disks so far, but Ironwolf is even better.

Thanks for the video! Nice cat 🤩

[@АлексейКовенькин]

Cool

[@angelolima4811]

Can I use it for my ps5 is it compatible

[@rncrallypics]

Hi there. Is seagate model good to buy. I'm look for a good hard drive.

[@shekharnandkoemarsing158]

i checked the serial number on the drive with the seagate warranty checking tool on their website, i put sweden in as the country too but it says information about warranty is not available, can you not get warranty on the drive itself that has been shucked?

[@envanligfjant]

I don't think so. You're taking a chance on this.

[@Turbo38]

So, I know the warranty on the unit as a whole is void but what about the serial on the drive? Do they match?

[@gedimangediman]

Hi. After 2 months, is your 10TB hard drive still working fine?

[@envanligfjant]

Yes, according to CrystalDiskInfo there are still no problems with it. I've not experienced any slow performance.

[@gedimangediman]

@@envanligfjant Thanks.

[@SKULLEYEZ]

Hi thanks for this video. What model number did you buy ?are you in the us or in Europe?am looking for baraccuda pro but all am getting is ironwolf pro in the seagate external drive that am buying.is yours STEL10000400?

[@envanligfjant]

Hey, I'm in Europe, Sweden. The reports I've seen have only been Barracuda Pros, except for you and the guy in the comment below who have got Ironwolf pro. The Expansion I got was a STEB10000400, so there's seems to be a difference there.

[@SKULLEYEZ]

@@envanligfjant hey dude thank you for your reply am from the Uk and get my drives from amazon . You don’t see much the STEB drives .i saw few which is from private sellers which I will give it a try. Also I got some nice 16 tv exos drives from seagate STEB16000402 in case you are interested in getting those . That’s way cheaper than buying the bare drives.

[@blogJM]

Is it possible to put back after breaking some of the tabs?

[@envanligfjant]

Yes, if you're careful.

[@kamel3d]

Do you think it can be used for nas?

[@envanligfjant]

I don't know what makes a good NAS drive, sorry.

[@Americaninparis2012]

I believe the Barracuda Pro is a CMR drive so yes for NAS.
