When a refurbished drive has low hours it's because the SMART data got reset during the refurbishment process.

They're still great deals. You're getting the remaining useful life on a drive made to run for a long time at high data rates. And, you can buy double the disks vs new ones, so you can setup your backup even easier.
Might as well use the most recently published stats...

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/ba...-for-2023/

TLDR; avoid Seagate 12tb and 14tb. 16tb drives so far look very good (X18). No published data yet on X24.
This should be boilerplate on any Server Part Deals post.

Wow, I just bought 4 of these from ServerPartDeals a week or so ago for $160 each. Great deal imo, I installed them and all four had 4 hours at time of installation.

That's not always the case, both SPD and GHD guarantee that they never get reset. Plus, these were probably manufactured in 2024 (X24) so they couldn't possibly have too much time on them

My question for this would be - x24 drives are really new. How is it possible that x24 designated models are already being refurbed?
Some people have mentioned (which of course doesn't automatically make it true) that a lot of these drives are used in movie production, and are wiped/sold when the production is done.
Doing a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation: 1 minute of 4k "RAW" footage takes up at least 10GB; major films can easily record over 100 hours of footage; So, just having ONE copy of these files would take a minimum of 60TB. Given the fact now movies are shot at 8K (so 4 times the number of pixels), they will probably keep at least three copies as they are filming, and probably need to send multiple copies to various editing and special effects studios... It isn't unreasonable to think that a project would use dozens of these drives.

Didn't realize the xNN was a year designator! I have a Seagate 14TB x16.. but I bought brand new in 2020. 🤷🏽 ♂️ for 199.

Where are the NAS deals for 4-bay with a n95 or N5095? My current NAS from 2020 uses a j4125.

I do want to buy refurbished as the SPD pricing is very tempting, however, I can't justify it without a new NAS and use the current as off-site backup

I bought a certified refurb 16TB from them a while back and have had no issues. They do make loud clicking and grinding noises initially, but it's error free and passed all performance tests.

I think that the "X24" does not mean "2024" manufacture date. It is the maximum capacity of that line of drives, in this case, 24TB.

The year and capacity have been going hand in hand for a few years.

FYI, goHardDrive also has the X20 model, same capacity, for the same price. 5 year-warranty VS 2 year of ServerPartDeals https://www.ebay.com/itm/176351920242

The model date doesn't = the manufacturing date. The X18 was released in/around 2018.

And the X20 were released in 2021. So it's still wrong.

Is "In/around" clear enough?

Likewise the X24 were released in Q4 of 2023, also falling within the definition of "around" 2024 https://www.anandtech.com/show/21...-hamr-hdds
