That is kind of confusing then as the listing specs state:



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.

attached the screenshots below.

Be aware that this drive is apparently pretty loud, as discussed during a previous sale here: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc...rpm_19999/

Are these Drives good options to start Synology NAS setup ?
TIA
I have 6 of these drives (bought new for 5 year warranty) in my 1621+ using SHR2. NAS is right next to my desk and I can confirm it's not too loud. I may buy one, test it and keep for a hot spare if I need to send a drive in.

Ordered 12tb HGLS Mon, got it Thurs. Great packaging, 2 box + huge thick bubble wrap. Ran diagnostic and no issues. Transfered files for few hours, seems legit. Som noise, but not loud at all...i am impressed so far.
Any chance someone could possibly recommend a good diagnostic utility, please?

Do you guys have any other way to verify that these indeed have low power on hours, or is SMART data the only metric we can go by?

Quote from GAKteam :
Thanks Again. Bought 2. 1 for internal, 1 for external. Any recommendation(s) for the expensive USB 3.1 case? Also would USB3.1 be useful for Nvidia Shield Pro?
With newer technology there is always the risk of driver/interoperability problems. I remember spending more on a Macally Firewire drive I could not use on a Windows computer back in the day. Frustrating.

Anyway, USB 3.1 and 3.0 may well have the same transfer speeds because the interface (USB box and cables) can't be faster than the hard drive's maximum limit.

For USB 3.1, you might try these:

https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-c...B01EK9LRLM (note this has no case)

https://www.amazon.com/urlhasbeen...B01A4Y0HDG

The safer path is probably to get a highly reviewed USB 3.0 case.

This, for example: https://www.amazon.com/urlhasbeen...B00GAML7OK
And I own this one: https://www.amazon.com/RSHTECH-En...B076HNWDMX

Any of these should work with your Nvidia Shield Pro which has USB 3.0... as to how well it works or formatting, I don't know the details on the Shield's external drive capabilities to tell you.

no the drive is quieter/same than my order drives
I felt it was very quite, though sad I bit on the 18s instead of these 14s, that extra bit cost a lot.

Quote from beggerking :
you missed the point. a backup from 1 week ago won't solve his data problem, even incremental backup doesn't save you from drive failure.

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.
What are you going on about?

Backups are for whatever length retention you want. You're the one who'll determine when to overwrite them. I don't think you know what you're talking about.

RAID is not retention. Period. It's uptime. It allows business continuity while you're able to get a replacement drive into the system and begin the rebuilding process.

Backups prevent data loss. Now the delta between your backup and current data is entirely up to you.....you can set that up for an entire system or down to a file level. Such as some systems don't change much, so a weekly backup is fine -- but on a different system, you can configure backups to occur every hour (or less). What's your tolerance for time to recovery?
