Hi All, I can buy 2nd hand X18 Seagates at good price. They were run for 1.5yr 24/7 in Chia mining rig. They have 3 yrs of warranty left. Only 20tb of writes but I am trying to decipher reads as they potentially look astronomical. Please look below and help me if you can. Would very high reads be a problem for you with those kind of HDDs? I plan to use them from 4k rips of my UHD disc collection media storage in my NAS. Another problem I can see that the highest lifetime reading of temp was 64'C so that is 4C over the spec of Seagate... Would you be interested in those kind of 2nd hand HDDs - 200e a pop for 18tb. I am looking at SMART data from Exos X18 HDD using SeaTools and I am getting following readings: Lifetime Writes From Host 38441230844 (decimal) or 0009FCBA5004 (HEX) Lifetime Reads From Host 145527953020108 (decimal) or 874026439FCB (HEX) HDD Sentinel software displays Writes as 19.97TB. Would anybody know how to translate Reads it into TB / PB? Thanks
