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.

It's also complimenting my existing backup strategy, so I don't need to "trust" them as I have redundancy.
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

I have had Great luck with the HGST WD Ultrastar DC HC320 Renewed off of Amazon
(8TB for $96) The drives I got had under 2 hours use on them.
MTBF = # of operational hours ÷ # of failures
So if you have 100 drives in operation 24 hours/day x 365 days/yr x 5 years the calculation is as follows:
Operational Hours = 100x24x365x5 = 4.38M hours
This means that with a MTBF of ~2.5M hours, you should expect, on average, 2 failures of those 100 drives in the 5 year operational period in the previous example
It could likewise be calculated by 1000 drives in operation for only 6 months (more likely) - the calculation remains the same.
So you can see it's really not an indicator of anything other than statistical failure rates in a given timespan. However, you'd have to contact the manufacturer to determine the exact testing protocols.
In many cases, if you see a warranty of 2 years, this likely means they've been sitting in a data center running 24x7x365 for 3 years, and have few starts/stops or power on cycles.
They've likely been adequately cooled, and given that they're 7.2k RPM, were likely used in WORM configurations as cheap storage, and not in high IOPS applications .
This is also why they tend to be in decent condition and still quite reliable.
Source: I install these drives (albeit the SAS version - same MTBF rating) in DAEs in the data center for use as described above. I have some 12-disk enclosures that have not seen a single drive failure in over 3 years of operation.

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?
Backup is backup. You still most likely suffer data loss.
Raid is the technology that prevents hard drive failure.
The two goes hand in hand. Your backup is severely limited if you don't do raid at the same time.

I don't do raid but it doesn't affect my backup setup.
