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...

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.

Prepare to get your data recertified too after getting these.

Aren't you always prepared to restore critical data from a backup? .... You do have a backup plan, right? ... Right?

Quote from StefanoM3235 :
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

Whats GHD?

I have had very good luck with the Manufacturers Refurbished ones from serverpartdeals. Drives always arrived very well packaged and in two days looking like new drives. I know they have some hours on them but the test out fine and have been using them for years and never had to RMA one back. Also they don't charge sales tax, at least to where I live, so this is an extra 9% savings.

This price is what the 14TB drives have been selling for recently, and this is a slightly newer model.

Since all drives fail I use the cost savings to buy additional ones for backups. I find the benefit of mirroring everything with used/certified drives is the most cost effective. All the warranty does is replace the drive, not the data, and in my experience the warranty replacement is a recertified drive, just like this one.

These are also enterprise grade drives, and while used have been re-certified by the manufacturer. I find the used drives to be better than the consumer grade drives which I have had to RMA for warranty. My thinking is you are getting a drive at a deep discount with a lower risk of failure than just buying a used drive. Also as long as you mirror your data you can replace a failed drive quickly while you wait for a free replacement should it fail in two years.

Worth the risk to me, but everyone is different, but this is my logic for buying them when I used to think you were out of your mind to buy a used hard drive. Sometimes you have to reevaulate things to find out a better way.

Quote from firststrike :
On a special note : They use to sell drives without adding tax, but now have started to add tax to the purchase amount.

The employee on chat told be that they have reached a certain limit and cannot sell products tax free anymore.

I know it sucks man. I bought 1x 16TB and tax was charged. I then bought 2x 18TB ($200 version WD MFR Recert drives) and that was $27 tax.

Did they say the tax is a yearly limit or it's a company wide limit after x amount of product sold?

Quote from WhoIsThat :
Lots of people have good experience with ServerPartDeals.

My question for this would be - x24 drives are really new. How is it possible that x24 designated models are already being refurbed?
They could be manufacturing defects where the control PCBs were replaced, but the motors and drive heads in the sealed part of the drive were untouched.

I can't verify, but I've heard these come from the same stock that Seagate sends out to replace drives that are RMA'd.

Seems more like seagate models ending with a G do better than J, though J should be a later generation.

not me. both the wd ultrastar 14tb drive and its replacement from spd went to 56% health within 8 months. the wd red i got new has been 100% for 5+ years.

Anything else, run. ESPECIALLY, SeaGate, do a 5k Marathon.
5k Marathon is an oxymoron. A 5k race is always 3.1 miles. A marathon is always 26.2 miles.

There is no such thing as a 5k marathon - they are two different distances.

To make my post have some value to this thread, ordered a 12TB from SPD recently (Slickdeals post), first one went bad within the first 24 hours of testing (click of death on power up, wouldn't even show up as a drive). They paid for return shipping and refunded me immediately when it arrived back to them. They don't offer cross-shipping so I ordered a second drive from them while the first drive was still en-route back and that one has been fine, ran a full surface write/read test and it passed clean. Both drives were packed very well and even included a 3.3v sata power adapter in case you are trying to use the drive in an older config where pin 3 is powered. Highly recommend them.
