Anyone running a nas that can handle multiple drives failing, insert a new drive and rebuild it. Big difference in quality/working hours of enterprise drives vs the commercial ones general users purchase.

I work in data storage and hard disks fail all the time, old or new. If your data is really critical, it should already be backed up and the disks in a mirror or RAID configuration. The failure rates follow a classic bathtub curve and refurbs already survived the infant mortality phase, so I'm not too concerned about buying refurbs.

I have them all. In the last decade, a single 5tb Seagate failed. No one can possibly know which models will fail at any point.

How reliable are these drives? I am tempted to use on my raid 1 nas as a good upgrade

Seagate in itself is a great company I still have drives a decade plus that still works just fine on my desktops external hookup. Just wondering about the whole refurbished part… refurbished models (in my experience) have a tendency to break down within 2-4yrs or sooner. I myself am debating on this one

I actually had a Quantum drive many moons ago that was virtually indestructible. Took a lot to get it to not boot up, and we were trying to kill it. And I'm pretty sure I have a 13gb Quantum that still works.
I'll go with Maxtor, since they bought Quantum and I've actually had a few bad drives from them back in the day. Their boxes were cool though and for the most part, they made okay stuff.
IBM had the "deathstars", but that is equal parts urban legend / fact as to how widespread the issues were.

Well, they'll ALL fail at some point. That's the only sure thing. Backups are critical. If you have them (and everyone should), it's not too important how reliable individual drives are.
Something that is sometimes overlooked is to try to buy different models (and/or drive brands), or to at least buy same model drives at different times or from a different seller. You don't want all the same model and batch, in case there's an issue with those and they suffer premature death at similar intervals.
(Although backup on multiple media fixes this obv).

When I think Quantum I always think Bigfoot. I worked in a store that sold these at the time and they always had issues. I actually thought of those Deathstars too; they ran insanely hot and we had a lot of returns / RMAs. Granted, my sample set is one store, but I would agree with the general perception about those IBM drives.

I bought a couple of these last year and they still work fine. But they are used for cold storage so I can't speak on the reliability. The seller, however, was great to work with, very responsive and accommodating. I would buy more if the price/TB was as good as last year's deal.

Does anyone have strong opinions on this (x18 / 16tb / $150 / serverpartdeals / 2y warranty) vs the ebay one (x20 / 18tb / $160 / goharddrive / 5y warranty). Both are "manufacturer recertified"
