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.

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.

They are both "Underwriters Laboratory" logos, the "UL" is for a finished product and the "RU" is for something meant to be used insided something else:

2-year is OK. If I buy a WD EasyStore like I did several years ago, the warranty is also 2 years. No more. No less.
And, I have to shuck the hard drive. In addition, there's the 3.0v pin hustle. So,
...

I went with TrueNAS Core instead of TrueNAS Scale because it is new and a few complained of speed/performance drops from going from Core to Scale. I really see the value of Scale in an Enterprise environment but not so much for a Home NAS.
My system config: i5 4460 on a Asrock H81 Pro BTC rev. 2.0 with 16 GB memory. Installed it on an old 32 GB SSD. No issues installing and configuring the TrueNAS Core, except the default root password wouldn't work ... had to reset the password and I was into the admin console. No need for monitor, keyboard or mouse... it is a network device now accessed over the network through an admin screen. Still exploring a lot of capabilities ... but suffices my need in terms of what I was looking for. Currently turning On/Off and don't want this to be conitnuosly running day/night. I can walk over turn ON, use it and shut it down. The 2 drives are in a mirrored configuration... so effectively, I have only 1 disk space for storage. You can add more same size disks here in a parity configuration to expand your storage.
Hope this helps someone. Still many drives are available even now but may not be at the same price it was at. I see some WD drives as well. Excellent packing and shipping from ServerPartDeals.
Yes RMA the drive now if you can. Some resellers you have to hit a certain level before they will replace it. Dell won't send you another until it is in the hundreds.

But thanks for sharing! I have been debating whether to give it a shot with "recertified' or not.
While I am not too worried about getting a defective drive (aside from the hassle of returning it and waiting for a replacement), my bigger concern is not knowing how much use the drive has had (given that the SMART Info, which includes Power On Hours, can easily be reset by the reseller).
Someone noted that their drive was from Sept. 2022, which is actually helpful info to get some idea,
That said, IF the drive was being written to 24/7 in a small business or other corporate environment before being 'recertified', that could still equate to a lot of data being written and read (lot of usage) over 120 odd days.
Too bad we do not know for sure how much use these drives have had... I would jump in if we had a good / better feel for the TRUE number of hours of usage.
