Hello,

I'm starting to need more space and looking at new HDDs.

I had a bad experience with seagate ironwolf (8To) on my HBA card that failed randomly. No bios update on conf ever manage to solve my issue so I bought a simple sata controleur for them and continued with WD on my HBA.

now, I'm looking at seagate exos X18 18To but I don't want to buy them if I can't connect them to an HBA card.

has anybody tryied this with issue? (I meen for more then a month).

thanks

I have a Seagate Exos X14 and X16 on an Dell HBAs. No issues.

I just hit 3 months of power-on-time for my Exos x14. I have 8 drives connected to my HBA. Mostly Reds, but the Exos was me trying something new. Zero issues so far.

I have seven 18TB Exos drives running off an LSI SAS3008 onboard HBA (Supermicro) that have been running for nearly 10 months now without issue.
