Grabbed a 22TB external drive to shuck. By all accounts it's going to be a barracuda labelled drive with a class 1 laser warning and there don't appear to be any retail 22TB barracuda drives so I suspect it's some form of high capacity exos with a disabled platter.

Got the drive in and already shucked. No real way to tell what it is, but unraid's identity tab reports it as a 7200RPM CMR/HAMR Barracuda. Currently on the initial read portion of the pre-clear and it's reporting 35c with active cooling. (In an open USB caddy). Basic reported speeds are/were 258MBs in the enclosure, 249MBs connected to my PC via sata (might have to double check the spare sata cable I've got slaved in) and 255-257MBs read from unraid.

Last bit of info on these disks..... outer edge is around 255, inner edge is 125 (or is that the other way around )

2 big 90% wool blankets, a canvas water bucket, 2 haversacks because they were CHEEP, soem potable water purifaction tablets and a Mil-Tec aluminum cook set, and because the order total was more than $49.00, netted me a free Camillus folding knife.
