Avoid the Seagate 10 12 and 14tb drives

You need to avoid specific models, not just all "10, 12, and 14tb" Seagate drives.

Wish they had some 22/24TB drives singled out as I need 5.

This. I've been running manufacturer recertified Seagate Exos 10 and 12TB (and now 20TB) drives for years now without issue.

Thankfully I run WD and Seagate 16s.

All I use are 14TB Seagate used drives, and no issues. Seagate has a bad rap from more than a decade ago.
