I've been able of find a Seagate 8TB Ironwood drive but not an 18TB drive. The are all listed for internal use or NAS use.

Where did you purchase it?

What's the model no. and Manufacture that's on the drive?

What enclosure is it in?

Is it in a RAID enclousre?

Have you contacted Seagate Customer Support or SAGE Customer Support about it? What did they say?
