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.

Good luck to everyone.
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.

TIA
I have 2 of them both 4 bay if you want to buy
crashed WD Red so many times
lost data
never again
QNAP also bad, hacks
sticking to unraid 5 bay yotta master
no problems after 3y so far
fast
if either storage go bad, it'll automatically access the other storage so you won't lose any data or have any downtime. you can also replace the bad storage anytime aka hot swap.
database transactional backup is different however hardware wise, it uses raid as well. Most of the time, raid solves the hardware side of issue so you'll be unlikely to need to restore from backup unless there is software corruption such as a virus.
Let's say you have bad data....or corruption....or any number of the viruses/extortion schemes that'll lock your entire DB or filesystem, That'll get replicated just as quickly as valid data.
You'll absolutely need previous backups BEFORE the corruption/infection to roll back to -- and that's something that RAID or replication will never provide.

I would pick up one of these and use acronis to make a copy to second drive for redundancy.
https://www.amazon.com/WEme-Exter...r=1-3&th=1
I would never trust this for anything other than a backup. This would be a very interesting backup at this price point. Especially if I have an extra one for redundancy. I would run Acronis True Image once a while so that main drive copies to the second drive.
I dont really want to do a RAID bc of the cost of a real server and the risk of losing data with a constantly running server (especially with crashes, power outage, etc). I dont really trust RAIDs. Stripes fail, etc. Dont want to deal with rebuilding the RAID.

I bought 25 , 18TB X18 drives and only had one issue and was an easy RMA , as they paid for the shipping both ways,
After 30 days you pay for the shipping one way . Everyone today should be running Unraid , true nas or something like qnap or synology with at least 2 parity drives and should be fine.
Anyone paying 100 bucks more for the same size drive is over paying, 189 for 18TB was a deal and so is 130 for 14TB.
Drives can also fail because of lack of cooling , vibration from not being installed correctly, mishandling , and power surges from using no UPS. I use UPS on everything with sinewave power regulation . Granted WD has a better history with smart data or bad sectors , id still use seagate , especially when it is this cheap. In 2-3 years all these drives will be less than 80 bucks anyway. Also no one should be using anything less than 8TB as it is waste of hdd slots. People should be considering on selling 8TB now. I dont have the money to replace 30 drives so I am waiting another year. I run over 200 drives , about 2PiB , i know what i am talking about
