Does anyone have experience with Seagate’s HAMR drives? Specifically vibration sensitivity (zerobytes.monster)

Been looking at the ST28000NM000C and friends, but heard that since HAMR drives use narrower tracks than conventional drives, they’re especially sensitive to vibrations. Which is why (I hear) they haven't been offered to mere mortals (non-enterprise) except now trickling via recerts.

Does anyone have real world usage with these drives? I've read that simply putting a bunch of them together in one case (say, 8-10 HAMRs) is enough to create read/write errors via their mutual vibrations even with normal vibration damping mounts, but that's just the word of one article. Anyone actually use them?
