Since they are less than 50% of new, buy two. All drives fail 100%. Mechanical issues tend to concentrate in the first two years (these are used) so they may already be 2+ years old so in effect this may help you. You can pay a few more shekels for drives w/ a 5 year warranty if you look around.

This is an OOS drive: https://www.amazon.com/MDD-MDD16T...85&sr=8-10

MDD is goharddrives white label drive w/ 5 year warranty. I have many of them not a single failed. OOS drives fail manufacturer recert, so there is some parameter or a physical ding on the case (which doesn't harm it because they have g sensors) and they burn OOS firmware on it so you can't update it -- but TBH I haven't updated firmware in a drive in almost 10 years.

If you buy one (even new) I beat them up for a week straight and look for any errors or overheating

These are Ent drives w/ 24x7 duty cycle and 550TBW per year which is crazy. They are meant to be beat up.

These drives are great in a NAS, Server, DAS etc. I have Seagate Enterprise drives in 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16 and 18TB deployed, and few have failed. Usually the older ones. Been using 12TB and bigger for 2 years and no fails yet. Had one 8TB fail but it was replaced under warranty. A couple of 4TB failed after 3-5 years, I replaced those with bigger ones. 6TB ones still running 24/7 for 6 years straight, only 1 out of 17 has failed think.

I always buy new though. I use them at work, so I want less issues, I may just try a refurb, but in system where its ok if it fails, like running Raid 6 or 60.

It's a great price, however, my concerns is how reliable this drive is to use it in a NAS.
Does anyone know how's the warranty ?

I just ordered one from the last post for $148.00 , I'm going to install it today and run diags. Comes with a 1yr warranty. It's heavy af fyi. Packaging was solid. Anti-static bag then bubble Packaging and then a box where nothing can get damaged, then packaged in a larger box with more bubble wrap.

I don't quite understand why SPD has been offering lower prices on eBay compared to their own website store. Do they like paying eBay's outrageous fees?

For me it's worth it to buy from SPD direct. $159.99 on SPD versus ~$155 on this deal after tax. I'd rather spend the $5 more and have it direct.

It doesn't make a ton of sense to me, though typically it's a lower warranty period on eBay than direct, so maybe they save enough on warranty expirations to make it worth it?
