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 enterprise generally will last a LOT longer, even used. They are designed to work in data centers where they are always running. Those of us who run arrays dont have them spinning 24/7. They are powered down into a low-power state, when not in use. If a file is accessed, it spins up, 5-10 minutes later it spins down to idle again. I still have used enterprise drives of 2TB I bought on ebay for $25-35 each 10-12 years ago still going without a single failure, lol.

Quote from StefanoM3235 :
I think somebody in a previous thread checked with them and they confirmed they have the same 5 year warranty

( thread for reference https://slickdeals.net/f/17248234-14tb-wd-ultrastar-dc-hc530-sata-6g-3-5-7200-rpm-enterprise-hdd-refurbished-110-free-shipping )
Correct. I just purchased 2x of the 14tb model of this from the previous thread and it comes with 5 year warranty included on the invoice from GoHardDrive. Newegg's 90-day is a separate thing that you probably wouldn't want to use since GoHardDrive probably ships your replacement faster anyways.

Would either the 10TB or 12TB HDD work in a Ubiquiti NVR? Appreciate the help if someone is able to confirm!

I got the Seagate Enterprise 12TB one from GoHardDrive on ebay for $82 with 3 years warranty. A 5 year old enterprise drive may last as long as, or longer than, a new desktop drive. 5 years has only 43,830 hours. An enterprise HDD typically has 2,500,000hr MTBF (vs 500,000 to 1,000,000 for desktop drive). In any case, these drives should be used in redundant array plus additional back up. Note that RAID does not eliminate the need of backup unless you are using RAID10. Indeed, I am using RAID10 in my primary NAS and has another NAS in a different location as backup.

Quote from vertical2394 :
I feel like refurb drives are different from like refurb macbooks or some other refurb category that gets posted on here a lot because A) the drives wear out and B) there is basically no warranty. So it's like putting used crap from ebay on here. It doesn't make sense even if it's a good financial decision for a lot of people. Used crap on ebay is a good deal for a lot of things but they dont get posted here. Except hard drives. They are called refurb but lets face it they're used and have no warranty. It's super odd. And to the others saying failure is a guarantee so you should have more than one drive anyway with backups. I mean you could say that about anything used and just post any used crap on here. That doesn't just apply to hard drives. Lets put used vacuum cleaners on this site, I mean, failure is guaranteed, everything mechanical eventually breaks, so you should have more than one vacuum cleaner. Used tires too, I mean, you should always have a spare tire, that's just common sense. SlickUsedDeals. Let's gooo
I buy used drives all the time and used them in RAID 5 or RAID 6 configurations for redundancy. Haven't had a single one fail yet. My favorite go to is ServerPartDeals and they do have warranty even for used drives. Not sure why your'e so scared about used hard drives. lmao.

So, I messaged about this and this was their response:
"Hi,These HUH721212ALE601 comes with 5 years warranty (for both marketplace) from our company, start on the date of purchased. If any problem, you can return to us for a replacement or refund ( if out of stock).Thank you."

This comment just shows that you have zero experience in buying refurbished drives. As long as you have an array and perform regular backups, you have nothing to worry about.

RAID is not a backup, not even a RAID10. Raid does not protect from accidental deletion or corruption. Bad advice unless you are pulling mirrors out of rotation.

Is there a app or software that can take a snapshot or list (txt file) of folders and files from a failing hard drive.

Sort of a table of contents

My refurbished HGST 3GB and 4GB drives have run in Unraid for nearly a decade now. Finally replacing with higher sizes. At $35 a drive, they were a bargain.

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?
Have 2 of the 10TB in my Synology NAS running strong for about a year without issue.

One thing to keep in mind is that these are LOUD drives. I'm talking "I don't want to be in the same room as them" loud, so something to keep in mind depending on where your NAS is located.

How loud is this drive ?
Very loud. Went from WD Reds to this and had to do all kinds of gymnastics to dampen the sound.
