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

Hasn't it been substantially cheaper than this? I swear it was like $189.99 for these

Is it safe to say that the X22 has a higher likelihood of less use due to it being newer than the X20?

Yeah I think that's a fair assumption

I posted this in the 16TB thread but if you are willing to chance a white label rebranded Seagate X22 20TB you can get refurb drives for $179 from server part deals. This drive appears to be an X22 20TB rebranded. https://www.ebay.com/itm/305178476535

I just finished a 30+ hour SMART long scan of every drive I bought and every drive came back zero errors. Also, My drives started at around only 15 hours of usage which is lower than I anticipated.

I am ok with rebranded refurb drives because I will use ZFS as a filesystem in a raidz2 setup. You can conceptually think of it as that I have 6 drives for data (120tb) and 2 drives acting as parity. ZFS is more complex than that under the hood but essentially in my 8 drive array it would take 3 drives dying before I lose any data.

The ebay off label has a 1 yr warranty and tax...
For me the difference would be 12 bucks since spd doesn't charge me tax

Tried Seagate Exos, just too loud for my arrangement.

I have the HGST Ultrastar in various sizes, virtually silent.

Would you actually trust your data to a drive that already broke once?
Ignorant. Refurbished drives doesn't mean they broke. It means that a company decommissioned drives for their own reasons, sold them off, and the manufacturer cleaner SMART data.

Quote from Cowboyjlove :
No it means some where in the process there was a problem. Again do you want to trust it? The only thing ignorant is buying some that holds data that broke in the first place and counting on it. It could be fine or you could loose all your family photos because they missed something and sold it do you cheeper. https://verywelltech.com/en-us/ed...earn-more/
Since you are talking about losing family photos I can tell that you are the wrong person to comment on these drives. Hard drives fail. Solid state drives fail. Disk based media gets disk rot. Vinyl records get scratched. If you are storing your family photos on one drive, or even one TYPE of storage media, or even in one location you have failed as a preservationist. I really doubt any of us itt are that dumb. I have my essential family media on six drives across three different locations. Two backup drives at each location. One of which is a safety deposit box. And a deep storage cloud backup.

Like the other commenter said, these are data center pulls. They most likely have no issues with them. That, plus the warranty, plus a backup plan, makes them a great buy. Responsible data management requires a brain. Can you get that on slickdeals? Set an alert.

no tax for me either through SPD but eBay does have tax.
SPD = $420 total no tax and free shipping
eBay = $385 which includes the tax and free shipping.

So about $35 savings if that is worth it to you to go through ebay.
Which one should I go with?
