I am thinking of getting a few Seagate Expansion drives to put in my room since the Seagate Exos I have from ServerPartDeals are too noisy. Is it worth it to shuck the them to put in my JBOD in exchange for the loss in the 3-year warranty?

| Feature | Seagate Expansion (Shucked) | Seagate Expansion (Unshucked) | Seagate Exo | |

| | Noise | Low | Low | High (twice as much?) | | Price | Similar | Similar | Similar | | Warranty | None / Voided | ~~3 Years~~ 1 year (!!!) | 90 Days or 2 Years | | Connectivity | Requires JBOD | USB Hub + AC Power Source Needed | Requires JBOD |

Edit: just found out the warranty is only 1 year (source). At that point I don't even care about the warranty. Doubt it would stop working within a year.
