These are the new Seagate ST4000DM000 4TB 5900 RPM 64MB Cache SATA "DM" drives that use 1TB platters.

 

UnRAID mentioned specifically in the customer reviews on newegg.

I'm pretty sure the link is wrong and these are 5900 rpm.  Seagate isn't saying "officially".

 

The review on Newegg is mine.  I did some performance testing of these drives.  So far I am very happy with price/performance.

Warranty information?  I am assuming 2 years from Seagate, but I don't see it on the Newegg or the Canadian site.  Even the Seagate website doesn't have it conveniently marked (http://www.seagate.com/em/en/internal-hard-drives/desktop-hard-drives/desktop-hdd/#).

Thanks for all the hard work testing these. I just ordered 4 of them to upgrade my currently 2TB parity setup.

I have no idea what's under the hood or how tough it is to rip out. Same drive maybe?
