When a refurbished drive has low hours it's because the SMART data got reset during the refurbishment process.

They're still great deals. You're getting the remaining useful life on a drive made to run for a long time at high data rates. And, you can buy double the disks vs new ones, so you can setup your backup even easier.
Might as well use the most recently published stats...

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/ba...-for-2023/

TLDR; avoid Seagate 12tb and 14tb. 16tb drives so far look very good (X18). No published data yet on X24.
This should be boilerplate on any Server Part Deals post.

Quote from DataMeister :
Does anyone know what the letters on the end mean?

This model has an H on the end, but Backblaze Drive Stats lists one with a G on the end. The G model looks like it is performing pretty well for Backblaze with a 0.70% annual failure rate so far.
Good question!

The Seagate spec sheets show what the different model numbers mean, but for the X24 they show only ST16000NM001H, 002H, 005H, 006H, and 007H. So I have no idea what 000H means.

https://www.seagate.com/content/d...-en_US.pdf

EDIT: It looks like the "000H" may be a "002H" that was relabeled to indicate that it's refurbished. At least that's what I see from non-US sites like Amazon.uk: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-...B0CV5Q1ZDT

Item model number ‎ST16000NM002H / NM000H

How is the quality of the refurbs?

I bought 4 x20's and a x18 they all are still going a year later no problems. They look new great quality.

😂 ooooook.

Check backblaze stats and you will see they still have the biggest hard drive failure rates from any company.

My friend said the same thing "SeaGates are good now". I bought one and within a year it died, I lost all my data. Huge collection of movies, music, games, programs, all my tools that I coded myself.

Shouldn't have went with his word even though he's in IT. I'm in the space too but I thought sure why not I'll give them a shot.

Data is priceless, if you want to lose it go with SeaGate 🤙

You mean if you want to lose it never have redundancies and never ever store your backups in another location. I have four of these they are running with no issues. I would be surprised if I could kill one in five years .

Quote from ctuttle :
I have had very good luck with the Manufacturers Refurbished ones from serverpartdeals. Drives always arrived very well packaged and in two days looking like new drives. I know they have some hours on them but the test out fine and have been using them for years and never had to RMA one back. Also they don't charge sales tax, at least to where I live, so this is an extra 9% savings.

This price is what the 14TB drives have been selling for recently, and this is a slightly newer model.

Since all drives fail I use the cost savings to buy additional ones for backups. I find the benefit of mirroring everything with used/certified drives is the most cost effective. All the warranty does is replace the drive, not the data, and in my experience the warranty replacement is a recertified drive, just like this one.

These are also enterprise grade drives, and while used have been re-certified by the manufacturer. I find the used drives to be better than the consumer grade drives which I have had to RMA for warranty. My thinking is you are getting a drive at a deep discount with a lower risk of failure than just buying a used drive. Also as long as you mirror your data you can replace a failed drive quickly while you wait for a free replacement should it fail in two years.

Worth the risk to me, but everyone is different, but this is my logic for buying them when I used to think you were out of your mind to buy a used hard drive. Sometimes you have to reevaulate things to find out a better way.

Everyone that calls them trash is likely to poor to buy new backups for all their drives, so that makes you the smart guy here.

Is "In/around" clear enough?

Likewise the X24 were released in Q4 of 2023, also falling within the definition of "around" 2024 https://www.anandtech.com/show/21...-hamr-hdds [anandtech.com]
There are no X(odd year) models, so this explanation seems made up.

Try running a disk test or any consistent disk activity on them. Sounds like a heard of elephants with an IO test running.

That's your fault for being an idiot by not having backups. Even your most favorite brand of hard drive can fail and you still better have the same backups no matter what drives you have.

I have 8 of them in a server 6 feet away and my hearing is perfectly fine. No noise ever. Even when running a parity check or pre-clearing them.
