Chia was/is WORM (write once , read many) so not sure how these drives were heavily abused? As a storage nerd, I bought many 18tb drives for chia and they are still spinning just fine in my storage arrays. It’s been five years.
Honestly no idea, all I 'member is reporting from back in ye olde days [1]. Damn, time really flies.
