Yeah, that wouldn't bode well at all for me. I'd have probably said forget it after the 2nd, maybe third in a row DOA. I'v bought quite a few hard drives and up till this point I'v not had any that were DOA. All of mine have been WD drives.
It's such a bummer that Seagate went down the pipes like what I've been hearing/reading. Touch wood never had one fail on me yet. I remember getting my first pc in the 90's and it had a Seagate hard drive, back then they were such good drives and very reliable - arguably THE best. Sadly they have suffered massive reputational damage over the recent years, but are they on the up again?
If you want a real world load for you server you could set up a forum for your community, it might not be that stressful for the server but it is a real world use case Great video as always
after using this drive for 2.5 years with 8032 power on hours and today it stop working by keep showing fail to access. After doing some disk check it show several bad sector. So RIP my data.
The easiest environment for a hdd to cope with is to keep it running 24/7. Any drive will last like so years. Minimal stress to the heads and power electronics. The easiest way to kill a hdd is to powercycle it regularly. Avoid turning off a consumer level hdd. The cold start is horrible for it.
I have 3 seagate hard drives in my computer and have had some for years never heard them clicking, My Samsung USB Drive (Seagate own samsung) is the only one you notice turn on. But it's virtually silent. Nothing compared to a 80-90's hard drive or early 2000.
Main problem with seagate is when they fail they fail in a very unrecoverable way typically (physical internal platter damage) but typically as long as you don't have the deathstar seagate model (or any laptop sshd made by seagate or 2tb laptop hdds by seagate you should be fine) The speed of the disk should be going slower over the whole Drive as a curve , in HD tune its all over the place (probably related to the chattering noises, so probably failing and ecc is working very hard to get the data) what does the smart look like

so it took you like 5 seagate drives to find one that didn't fail so you can test it? LOL

its 12 degrees in the moring here in cairns
the only good thing its doing for me is pulling down my pc temps
Ok now this is dedication and I love it could you do the same with other hdds and ssds.
Love this series!

My experience with Seagate has not been good.

Are you running your i/o tests on a clean or fragmented filesystem? If on a non-clean OS drive, your results will be all over the place.

This guy still has a local PC store? Impressive.
The chattering is from file i/o. Blame the bloating operating system for that.
Total tbw? Not info
Idle hdd 24/7 Is not stress test, put drive to work, write and read 2TB or 6TB per day
