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.

I'm still wondering if something like these recerts are good for only turning on a couple of times a month for just a few hours to backup/transfer, then turning off the NAS, so hardly any hours would be on this mech hard drives. No RAID, and have copies in other places so if one goes bad I'm ok, I got other backups.
Many guys use the NAS 24/7 and keep the drives on for months/years ... with more wear/tear so they do need good RAID to keep the server up and running.
I will continue to research best way to use NAS and save wear/tear on my mech drives.
I will probably buy 4 big size drives in a month or 2, so I do read your posts.
I ordered 2x 14TB's for my new DS220+ (sole purpose is to serve as our photo repository), but I'm unsure if I should just throw them into the NAS or swap them with 2 year old shucked WD 14TB's sitting in RAID in my homebrew NAS. There's probably no right answer.
If you have around $500 budgets, would you buy for 6bay NAS - RAID6?
5x 12TB
OR
4x 16TB
larger drives will always be cheaper down the road.

19 hours and 2 power cycles according to SMART. I am not sure that means much if they have been wiped.
Here is the CrystalDiskInfo for anyone interested
