Manufacturer Recertified DrivesShop for drives that are certified once again by the manufacturer to work like new. Factory ReCertified drives are cost-effective alternatives compared to factory-sealed new counter parts. Additionally, unlike in mass production, the re-certification process involves closer attention to the overall operation of the hardware so that the re-certification will not have to happen a 2nd time. |
attached the screenshots below.
Also, these drives have 2 Years of warranty through SeverPartDeals.com, no Seagate Warranty.

Seagate 14TB Exo16 Recert:

Here is what I got so far:
:
CrystalDiskInfo: Seatools: Side by side comparison of brand new Exo16 14TB vs the Recert one, the only thing that can't be seen here is that the recert one on the metal chasis on the side has the words recertified laser etch into it. The only other thing that stands out to me is that the recert are made in china, the other one is from Thailand. The recert has two clear logos saying is a recert, one right below the Seagate brand and the other on the bottom near all the other logos saying Factory Recert Seagate. Also the certifications are kind of different between each others as if this recert was meant to a different market? Main difference are the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) logo and the UKCA one. Not an expert on this so anyone with more info about the logos please clarify. Quick google indicates that the UR one is for devices that are meant to be used inside another and not the final product themselves, ie the drive on the left came from an external drive and was shucked, thus the UR logo. The UKCA indicate that it is a product meant to be sold on the market in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales).

The listing title then says FastFormat, not sure if that is referring to a feature of the drive or if that is the name of the Recertifiying company:
Update: FastFormat is a featue Segate drives have.
And then they define Manufacturer recertified as:
Talked to their customer service chat and they said they are recertified indeed by Seagate and that ServerPartDeals runs their own internal tests on top of it. That these drives are warrantied to have less than 50 power on hours.

And recertified drives are better due to infant mortality

Too good of a price to pass though. I really want two of them but too many unknowns. Many refurb places give 5 year warranties on enterprise drives that are more beat up and "used" than these should be (though it depends on the refurb company still being in business in 5 years, haha).
This is tempting, but I just ordered a new WD 8TB internal HDD yesterday that would be complicated to return. And 14TB is more than I'm going to need for a very, very long time, and even 8TB was way overkill for my needs. But $130 is really nice for something this big.
you should start doing RAID or put your important in a NAS with raid. ALL storage fail, you just have to RAID them so you can recover.
brand of the storage really don't matter, its just random lottery to WHEN it'll fail.

i have five EXOSx16s right now and one of them did kinda fail, about 2 years in, one of the drives had an irreparable sector, e-mailed seagate and they sent a replacement immediately with a return shipping label, easy as pie. MFG warranty is such a godsend and i'd totally just throw both drives in with that but since this is 3rd party (with seemingly questionable disclaimers), i think installing one and keeping one as backup is the safer way to go about it.
