Same seller and item from this front page deal except it's $7 less via their ebay store

Not sure what the return policy is from their website, but worth mentioning its free return shipping from their ebay store

This deal has been around for about a week now. I saw it when they first listed on eBay. I was tempting to buy but considering 35k (4yrs) of power on hours and only backed by one year of warranty I rather pay a bit more than dealing with the risk. Good luck.
Isn't 35k POH a lot?
For a consumer drive, yes. For an enterprise drive, no. Consumer drives have 1-3 year warranties, typically, due to that reason, whereas enterprise drives typically have a 10 year warranty. That said, and echoing @Ad0nis, I prefer the vendor "goharddrive" for 2 reasons: they do not have a history of wiping SMART data during refurbishment, and they include 3 or 5 year warranties on their drives. Personal experience with 6 drives from them has been stellar, including swift, no questions asked, replacement when needed.

1 year warranty vs goharddrive 3 year warranty but significantly cheaper per TB. In for 4 since I had been waiting for a deal like this for my secondary backup storage.

My goal is not to pare your comment down to three words (as you have shared some valuable details alongside this), but I am curious - even most HDD's I obtain professionally have 5 year warranties (WD DC drives, Seagate Exos, etc). I've never come across a datacenter/enterprise hard drive with a 10 year warranty...what company have you been working with?

I've bought many refurbished/recertified drives from Server Parts Deals over the last couple of years.

None of the drives I have bought have failed. All are still running in one of two unRAID servers. Happy as clams.

Yeah, no disrespect to the other person but I think they're mistaken. Enterprise gear generally has a 3-5yr warranty, like you said, vs 1-3yr for consumer stuff. I've never seen a 10yr warranty on anything enterprise without several extensions or third party warranties.
