Model overview based on user reviews  
The Seagate Exos X18 is a high-capacity hard drive, available in various configurations, including the ST18000NM000J model, which offers up to 18 TB of storage. Users appreciate its CMR technology, which ensures reliability and fast performance, with read/write speeds reaching up to 370 MB/s. It is noted for being very quiet compared to other models, making it ideal for NAS systems. However, some users have experienced strong vibrations and loud noises during operation, which can be concerning. Despite these issues, the drive passes functionality tests and is not considered defective under warranty. Overall, it is recommended for those seeking a reliable, high-capacity storage solution, although the price may be a consideration for some buyers.
Pros

Cons

A good CMR disk with a large capacity, for an inexpensive storage system it's simply top for its money
31 January 2025 
I bought myself several Exos ST18000NM000J for NAS. Surprisingly very quiet hard drives. Compared to my former Toshiba MG06A - it's just night and day. I think my neighbors were also happy to replace the old drives..
One 120mm cooler is enough for cooling, with it the hard drives heat up to no more than 30-35 degrees.
The hard drive starts up very smoothly, no clicks or vibrations, even when parked. And only during high load, if you get close to the server, you can hear the heads moving.
When copying/reading, it produces stable 270-290 MBs, sometimes it accelerates to 370 MBs.
Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good CMR drive.

When the disc is turned on, the noise is simply infernal, it feels like it's tearing apart from the inside. At low writing speeds, it makes noise, creaks, and sputters. But the most interesting part is that it passes the functionality test. And under warranty, they don't take it back - this is supposedly a normal condition for this disc.
18 TB of capacity (although actually 16.5 available)

wonderful model, really honored

Great HDD. It works on a single-board computer and runs its own Nextcloud cloud. It's fast and almost doesn't heat up - under heavy load for 2 hours, it showed 41°C, and without load around 37°C. Which is just ideal! But this is a so-called toaster-type NAS, the disks stand vertically and cool down very well without fans. Those who complain about the noise - well, you saw before buying that this is a server disk and not a desktop one, right? Although in my case, I wouldn't say it works very loudly.
