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/

2-year ServerPartDeals warranty, NOT Manufacturer warrantied.

I am in the same boat as you except ... I have a WD MyBook Live (2TB) currently. Looking to replace that by building a NAS that supports RAID. I came across this article https://techcult.com/best-free-an...-software/ ... the FreeNAS or TrueNAS seems to be popular, but again depends on your needs.

Ya, I want to make something that won't have future limitations.


TrueNAS does sound like it's a very capable NAS system, so now to get a test system going to try it out!

Bought 18tb refurbished drive from them last month, test it and it has zero hour run time on, practically new. With these kind of price is unbeatable. I would definitely take the risk again 🙂
Don't they scrub the SMART info on these during refurbishment?

Grabbed an 18TB and 2 14TB drives from them a few weeks ago to initially setup an unraid server. So far, they're rock solid. Low power-on hours on all 3 (under 10).

Been adding my WD drives one by one (after I move the data) and I have had zero issues so far. Great deal.

I wouldn't risk purchasing a refurbished component with moving parts.
Some might argue that these might be less likely to fail, as they've gone through extra testing. You're skipping the new disk failure part of the bathtub curve (potentially, at least).

Wish there was an easy way to upload all my photos and videos from iCloud into this to save on the monthly reoccuring iCloud storage charges but it is beyond frustrating to transfer stuff out of iCloud

I am looking to do file sharing, of course, backing up to the NAS, Plex, security camera recorder, remote file access/backups, VPN services, and any other geeky thing that may come to mind.

I've been using a Synology NAS which has been easy to use and manage but also feels grossly underpowered, but something similar in simplicity would be ideal.
Get a Qnap NAS with AMD AM4 socket. You can put 16 core CPU, 128gig RAM, gaming video card for your virtual windows using full pcie slot. Mine came with 8 security camera licenses upto 64. You can also install pfsense since you can actually manage each interface. It has built-in virtual networking.

The possibility is limitless.

Can't you install iCloud on a pc/mac and downloaded everything locally?

I bought the EXOS 18TB a couple weeks ago. Mine are -loud- lots of the 'clicky' HD sounds that are audible and attention-grabbing.

I have realized that (for me) they need to be put to use in non-I/O intensive applications. For instance they would drive me nuts if I used them for torrents, but they are much quieter when just idling in my DS220+.

Of course this is location-dependent too. My Synology sits behind the TV. If it were in a closet somewhere the noise wouldn't matter.
do your hard drive mounts have rubber isolators? I have a basic desktop case with isolators on the hard drive mounts and I don't hear EXOS drives over the sound of the fans on low.

If you are going the route of building your own and you like the Synology software, you could try Xpenology. I looked into that when I was building mine. Down side of that is its not officially supported. Have to rely on community forums.

I've tried a few OSes and I have landed on Unraid. It sounds like Unraid will do everything you would like. I very much like Unraid and highly recommend it.

I'm changing from FlexRAID (no longer developed) to SnapRAID + DrivePool. I use my NAS as an HTPC so I want Windows.
