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.

The 14tb has a 1.48% annualized failure rate in Backblaze's Q3 2022 hard drive data. These refurb'd drives are likely past the early failures shown in the hard drive 'bathtub curve' and likely to be reliable for a long while.
I have multiple of these in my Unraid server and they have been working great for over a year (not refurb).
With all important data, use the 3-2-1 backup rule. 3 copies, 2 different media storage types, 1 copy in the cloud.
These are very tempting for me, but I don't really need more space right now.
I see all these companies shredding HDD's, it makes me sick. They can simply be wiped. No one has ever proven they can recover any information at all from a purposefully wiped drive. Companies are too paranoid. Plus they should be encrypting all drives anyway so it shouldn't be an issue in the first place.
My personal "backup" consists of syncing my important data between my PC, laptop and an encrypted thumb drive, and taking the latter with me whenever I can. The one weakness here is that when I'm home, all three are in the same place, which is dangerous in case of fire and such. So really I need a 4th, offsite backup solution. I keep meaning to put it on the "cloud", but have reservations about security and reliability. Are the ones that Google, Microsoft and Norton give you for free considered to be both?

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.
All storage will fail. PROPER BACKUPS are the only way to ensure data isn't lost. That's a separate drive outside the system, stored properly, etc. But RAID is never a backup. Never.
Part no.: BC511 NVMe SK hynix 256GB
Drive type: 256GB M.2 SSD
Drive form factor: M.2
Any way to use this 14tb as the boot drive?
If not, can this be "enclosed" and used as an external HDD?
TIA

he was blaming drive failure on brands... so I responded in correspondence to how to prevent drive failure.
backups are for long term retention. raid is for short term retention before the next backup happens. both are required.
