Not bad, but I'd probably do the 12TB for $89.99 from goharddrive instead.

I see there's a 90-day warranty from them via NewEgg. Whereas if you buy via ebay from them, there's a 5-year warranty for a few bucks more.

For those who are interested: BackBlaze (excellent remote backup company) publishes regular statistical reports on the reliability of drives they have in service. Because they often have thousands of a given hard drive model in service, often for years, it's probably the most realistic set of data on HDD brand/model reliability available anywhere.

Western Digital's failure rates are astoundingly low.

I don't get why anyone would buy a refurb drive - especially a physical platter drive. It also seems there are 2-3 refurb drive postings a day.
Because many of us have drives in arrays for media, VM, etc storage targets. Buying used enterprise is a great way to get a deal on a largely reliable drive. And if a drive dies, we have parity and/or backups to rebuild a dead drive, because that's normal planning for any responsible person who cares about their data.

Something to keep in mind is that these are enterprise grade HDDs. These are expensive new but has higher specs when compared to consumer-grade HDDs.

Odds are probably much higher that one of these drives will die over a new drive. But the odds of losing your data is much lower if you buy 2 of these drives instead of one new one.

The recommended minimum for backing up data you care about is what's referred to as a 3-2-1 backup. The "3" in there refers to having your data on 3 separate drives/arrays.

If you'd like to reduce downtime and avoid losing new data before it is backed up, then you also want to include some type of RAID. This is highly unnecessary for most home users. But it is something enthusiasts like to use as well.

After all of this, you might end up with 4+ drives to hold your data and back it up.

I have an old TrueNAS server full of 4TB WD Red drives. Wouldn't mind upgrading.

Does anyone have any experience with the 10TB or the 12TB linked above? Any issues with them? Did you have any fail?

Drive failure is a guarantee, so the industry accepted standard is to build systems that are fault tolerant (RAID).

For the average homelabber, drive reliability is 3rd or 4th most important factor to protecting data. The average drive is so reliable that a reduction of X use hours in exchange for Y dollars is a good tradeoff since fault tolerance mostly negates data loss from drive failure.

If you are buying just 1... don't do that with these large drives unless it's just a scratch drive

I've been running eight 12TB refurbs from serverpartdeals on my TrueNAS system for 3 straight years and have monitoring tools on the drive and they're still healthy. Much more economical to buy refurbs in my opinion.

I've bought many new consumer-level HDDs that crapped out after a few months. Enterprise HDDs are made with much higher quality components, and hard drives follow a "bathtub curve" in reliability. The longer a hard drive has been running, the less likely a defect arises, but of course the more wear it experiences. In my experience having worked with hundreds of hard drives in data centers and personal storage, these decommissioned data center hard drives are very reliable. They'd have several thousand power on hours, but that's just indicative that they will continue to go strong. These drives from goHarddrive also come with a 5 year warranty.

I think somebody in a previous thread checked with them and they confirmed they have the same 5 year warranty
