They white label from the 3 major manufacturers (Seagate, WD, Toshiba). However the issue to me is that there's no way to know how old the drive you're getting is. The drives have the SMART stats wiped by the mfr, so no way to tell if these are lightly used or have 20k hours on them.
At least these have two year warranties, Seagate only has one on theirs and the serial on the drive is invalidated. I can save $60+ on these and get a two year warranty. Hopefully these will hold me over until the 20tb trickle down.
If don't have much to lose, or would not care, and you need the space, these are a good deal on a enterprise grade hard drive that were designed to run 24/7.
Possible home use:
Plex server
Home IT labs
Security systems
Photo/document repository etc
AGAIN, if you plan to use these for data that is important, or cannot be lost, look at new, or find a cloud-based solution that has built in redundancy and high availability (HA), with constant uptime.
Now I have the headache of trying to reclaim my $150 and still no drive.
Saving 50 per drive sounds nice. But it is crazy if the drive has no serial number on the smart read out.
