Question 1

Can I use this hard drive for my home network system?

Accepted Answer

If what you mean by a "Home Network System" can also be called a NAS device, Yes. I have two installed in my Synology DS218j NAS and they are working wonderfully.
However, if you want your network storage partition to use the full 24TB capacity (it will format to around 21.8 TB), make sure your NAS or home network system can handle partitions that size. My NAS only supports 16TB partitions, so I have to have it divided into a 16TB and an 8TB partition.

Question 2

Can this HDD be used in a RAID system?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they can, but aren't designed and optimized for this.  NAS-drives and enterprise drives have special features in their firmware designed specifically to work well with RAID systems. This greatly improves the reliability of those drives, when used in RAID systems, compared to a drive like this, that's designed and optimized for use as a single drive.

Question 3

Is this refurbished?

Accepted Answer

Looks almost identical to Seagate 24TB Exos X24 7200 rpm SATA III 6.
I've printed out my invoice (bought 3x of them) and Seagate specs, so in 2xyears nobody will have memory problems with my Warranty.

Question 4

Can I use it for 2K Game recording destination?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! That's what it is for. Do not use your SSD's. You will shorten their lifespan. I have one of these in all my PC's for recordings and storage

Question 5

Do these drives require a special kind of formatting?

Accepted Answer

No. You can format them with whichever file system you prefer, that's supported by your operating system

Question 6

Can these drives be used as backup storage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Seagate BarraCuda ST24000DM001 is suitable for various use cases, including as a backup solution.

Question 7

How many physical disks 24GB model contains? How lowd is it?

Accepted Answer

Not sure how many platters it has if that is what you mean. When it's running it is noisy with my PC on my desk. I can feel it's vibrations through the desk. I use it as my backup drive so it's not always running.
