Great packaging,
Drives get stamp/marked Recertified , also gets a new label to what appeared to be from Seagate .
SMART data gets zero out..

They are louder than traditional drives.. worth the buy.. $10.50/ TB

Satisfaction Guarantee: Return for refund within 30 days of package reception date.

SO test the drive as soon as you get it..

I used the Seagate software that creates a bootable VM (tinycore) with the SeaTools GUI : Link
without model number, start of usage time, length of usage, type of usage, your story has no usable meaning.

Always have a backup plan Smilie

FWIW I've been running 12 of the 14TB models in my garage (105 - 32°F swing) for two years now with zero errors let alone drive failures. Maybe I'm lucky, maybe they're fine.

You clearly don't know what you are talking about. None of us care that the 1tb Seagate drive you loaded with pron in 2005 failed in 2018.

That warning is at least a decade past its prime.

Actual data says their drives are fine.


" The 6TB Seagate (model: ST6000DX000) drive is the oldest in our fleet with an average age of 92.5 months. In 2021, it had an annualized failure rate (AFR) of just 0.11%, but has slipped a bit to 0.68% for 2022. A very respectable number any time, but especially after nearly eight years of duty."

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

Refurbished drives from any brand need to be tested and treated accordingly.

I have 2 of these 20TBs from the last time this deal was posted. They're part of my 6 drive array running in SHR-2 (RAID6 equivalent). One drive died after a day of running, but ServerPartsDeals replaced it after sending the drive back to them, and them running their own tests.

I second everything eversavage has mentioned. I was impressed with their packaging, shipping and speed. I have purchased 3 drives from them without issues. I use stablebit scanner to test all the drives before putting them into my pool. I have had zero issues and I will continue to use this company to slowly swap out my other smaller drives.

This seems like it's based on some old data? It doesn't seem to match Backblaze's latest findings, nor my own (anecdotal) experience. I've been running Seagate Exos 14 and 16TB models since 2018-2019 and not had a single one die or fail. Back in the days of yore, Seagate did have a tremendous number of 4TB drives die…I had about 4 of them, but since they seem to have improved overall and I'm quite happy with them, though, admittedly they are louder than the WD 12TB IronWolf Pro drives I have in my other NAS.
