Quote from TenderPiranha

The lowercase 'b' in Mb or Gb distinguishes it from MB (for megabyte) and GB (for gigabyte).

Manufacturer is advertising this drive as 12TB which is 12 terabytes or 12 * 1024 GB or gigabytes, not 12 terabits. As a result formatted size of the drive should be exactly 12 terabytes, not less.

I mean you can keep fighting it all you want but the reality is that it's been long accepted that GB = 1,000,000,000 Bytes and GiB = 1,073,741,824 Bytes. Hard Drives are sold in TB so 12TB = 12,000,000,000,000 Bytes or 10.913936421 TiB (Tebibytes)

I was almost gonna check out this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RNFN6S9 . Is this ebay deal a better one?

The one on Amazon is a slightly older model, 2TB smaller, has a 2 year shorter warranty, and is from a less well known seller. I also don't see any guarantee that they don't have bad sectors. I guess it depends how much you value $8.

Quote from ServError

Be sure to take a look online, that tick could be completely normal for the type of drive. Enterprise drives make all kinds of strange sounds (including ticks) that would be alarming in a consumer drive but are part of normal operation for them.

Writing lots of small files makes for the noticeable head noise,usually.. but click of death where the heads sound like they slam against the side of the drive case is not normal. What one hopes is these refurb companies are not selling drives to customers as their test bed to see how many come back as bad. 3k hours typical server pulls are 1-3 years of full or part time use

You do get what is advertised, it's just that the storage mfrs use a different measurement than your OS.

They use a measurement of their own devising.

The one I got had a lifetime max temperature of 47C, hardly red hot.

Should give pause to anyone considering a deal when common sense opposing opinions trigger fan boys to insist everyone else is a hater. These are just refurb drives - not everyone's gonna jump at the $avings you imagine so calm down.

DOA is unacceptable for a refurbished HDD. The seller just slaps a refurbished label on a non-tested HDD. Their warranty is just a lottery.

I ordered four and already one is bad after two months. Bad sectors. It was in a RAID array so no data lost, but these things take a long time to get running again. A problem with goharddrive is that they will only ship you a new drive once they receive the old one. The 5-year warranty isn't a warranty either. It's more like a used drive subscription, where your time is completely lost and unaccounted for.

Don't do it unless it's part of a larger redundancy strategy. If you buy this to store stuff you care about, and this is your only copy. You likely don't rotate your tires or change your blinker fluid either. Heathen.
