This drive was launched in Dec 2021 so any "used" drives would probably be no older than ~1 year. Surprising how fast these came to the "used" market

Sounds like you are just not sure what to do. You missed one other individual post to reply to though, maybe that one will have the answer.

Just a heads up for more informed decisions - https://www.tomshardware.com/news...of-failure. I've had bad experience with Seagate anecdotally, and it seems it might not be just anecdotal.

Also https://www.backblaze.com/blog/ba...-for-2022/

Seagate average around 2% failure rates compared to < 1% for other brands is not a good look

If you are storing data on drives with redundancy (which you SHOULD) and rebuilding / swapping drives are easy then you should focus on "$ per TB years"

Let's say a "perfect" drive lasts 10 years ("0% AFR")
A 2% AFR rate would be "expected" to last 2 years less (10 years x 2% = 20% of 10 years) at worst.

So you should pay no more than 20% extra for a "the perfect 0% AFR drive" versus 2% AFR drive

IMHO buy the Mfg. Refurbished 20TB Seagate - IF YOU HAVE EASY REDUNDANCY

I am not really sure what to do. The WD Red Pro 20tb has 300TB workload per year. Vs 550 per year with these drives. I don't know what 20 TB drive to buy. I get a manufacturer warranty with this plus credit card warranty.
IMO the higher failure rates are more concerning than any warranty. It doesn't matter how long the warranty is if you lose valuable data - sure you'll get a replacement, but you might not be able to replace the data once it's lost.

It's not so bad if you have redundancy like BackBlaze does though - so I guess it would be less of a concern if you have multiple copies of the data across several drives.

aren't many of the seagate failed drives from non-exos and non-ironwolf or whatever enterprise-equivalent drives? I've had Seagate failures in the past too that have put a bad taste in my mouth, but my understanding is that they were from drives that don't include the above two mentioned product lines. the old school backblaze data was done using regular Seagate drives iirc, and I have to agree that those drives are a load of hot trash. think it was the barracuda line? I've heard better things about the enterprise-level drives though 🤷 someone jump in to correct if you have experience otherwise

Nice size and price, but Seagate.... nope.

The SANs we have at work are loaded with Seagate drives.... the field tech comes out on a regular basis replacing dead ones. On a big SAN it's not a huge deal, you have redundancy. At home in a 1 off or small NAS, it is more of an issue. 20tb is a lot to lose in one shot.

Have you ever tried getting a replacement or refund via credit card extended warranty for electronics?? for minor electronics I've never had any luck, because they've always required an up front evaluation ($$) from a tech shop of some sort certifying that the device is indeed broken and needs fixing or replacement. For an expensive TV sure I'd go thru that trouble.. but for a security camera or zwave switches? too much effort

I bought 2 of these, 1 from Amazon (first one failed, DOA, clicking) replacement was fine, paid $349 then ordered a 2nd from ServerPartsDeals which was SN01 firmware and 4.5 years worth of warranty vs. the Amazon SN03 firmware and 5+ years according to serial number check on Seagate. Not sure there is a tremendous amount of difference but the SN01 said it's not eligible to upgrade to SN03.

I did once from Citi. They wanted the drive though before they would pay. I told them it had PPI and socials unencrypted on it before it failed and didn't feel comfortable handing it over. They gave me a one time exception.

When I've done in-warranty replacements with WD and Samsung in the past they've always needed the drive shipped to them for inspection, before I would get my replacement .

Maybe I should try filing a claim when with Chase when my drives fall out of manufacturers warranty and see if they'll refund me a drive without requiring a return. 😎
