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.

Sick of google drives inflated storage prices, ordered 4 along with a 1522+ Synology. Thanks for the coupons and the drive failure rates!
Seems like a real good sweet spot for price, reliability, and size.

I have 8 of them in a server 6 feet away and my hearing is perfectly fine. No noise ever. Even when running a parity check or pre-clearing them.
Your hearing is not fine. These make noise i can hear 10 feet away.

Quote from Cowboyjlove :
Remember that these drives are OK for data you don't want to lose or have multiple backups. They're suitable for games or movies but skip essential data use. It's not worth gambling about losing essential data or redoing 16 TB of data just to save a little money. I would instead get a new one on sale and spend my time doing something else.
Your first sentence is incoherent to your point...

Used spin HDD is not a good buy.
no matter what warranty they put there.
no one would honor it when return period is gone
are you saying they would not replace these drives within their 2 year warranty? is it personal experience or are you just guessing? "Condition - Manufacturer Recertified : 2 Years Seller Limited Period Warranty"

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?
Same concern.

There are lots of reasons why a new drive model may have refurbs:

New models may have manufacturing issues and fail final testing at the factory

Infant mortality is much higher than mid term reliability

They might actually be honest and not sell finished goods that fail final test and get repaired as new.

This is a very small percentage of their total drive manufacturing and to the lay person may seem like a large quantity.

I have my current Plex library spanned across a bunch of smaller drives as my library has grown over the years...

In the interest of simplifying that set up, what would be the most practical and effective way of buying 4 of these drives to have 32TB of storage?
