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.

Quote from LeoMont :
A month ago, I bought two Seagate X24 16TB from this same vendor for $170 each. They are currently running in a Synology DS224+ and I am happy with the performance and price. I did first a full scan of the drives (took 22 hours) and both disk passed without errors.

Here are some guess about these refurbished drive sourced from the manufacturer.
The 24TB drive has 10 internal disk with 20 heads.
The 20TB drive has 9 internal disk with 18 heads.
The 16TB drive has 8 or 7 internal disk with 15 or 14 heads.

In production testing, if the 24TB has a defective 1 of the 10 disk platters, the firmware could be modified to reconfigure it as a 20 TB. If the defect is on 2 disk platters, it could become a 16TB refurbished drive.

Note: These are pure speculation, I am just another guy on the internet.
That's actually an interesting suggestion. I wonder if they would do it that way. You'd definitely see a difference in weight and heat generation between a REAL one and a reconfigured one.

From a refurbishment labor perspective that could make a lot of sense.

I appreciate you "guy on the internet"

"Remember that these drives are OK for data you don't want to lose or have multiple backups"

Poster's sentence above in quotes. Why would a person use these crappy seagate drives for data they DON'T WANT TO LOSE. Then poster goes on to list data that is easily replaceable after quoted sentence above.

Did you get your education in a liberal school system where they just pass you to next grade if you are a failure?
Don't be rude. It just makes you sound uneducated if you can't defend a position without insulting someone.

There is nothing wrong with refurbished drives, especially these ones that are nearly new, and haven't even been on the market for very long. There is plenty of statistical manufacturing data that shows that a refurbished drive (that is new and only suffered from infant mortality) is MORE reliable than one right off the manufacturing line. That's one of the main reason manufacturers of high reliability systems have burn in tests: to ferret out early failures and IMPROVE reliability of the end products delivered to customers.

And seriously what are you doing in a refurb thread if you just want to crap on it. You aren't helping, you clearly aren't learning, and you are definitely not buying one. GO AWAY.

They still have some X16 models for the $140 price. They probably realized the X24 was selling faster so changed the price to help clear out the older models.

Thanks... Yeah I saw that when I was searching for cheaper replacements. I wonder whats the manufacturing dates on these X18 since it was released last 9/2020.

rolled the dice and bought an x24. Thanks all for the discussion and important points to take note of. Namely what tipped the odds for me was the relative newness of this product line. Hoping it won't be too used given how recently it was launched...

At this size (anything over 4TB in my opinion) you should really have two in your setup. Running in a mirror format at the very least.

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.
So it's fine to not have backups if you're using new drives which also fail? Dumb take.
Please, no one listen to this advice.

On a server drive 260 some days seem hardly heavily used considering they are supposed to be running 24/7.

And with that example the power-on count is an indication of something wrong with the server (possibly the drive). I killed two drives once with a malfunctioning server backplane before I figured out the cause was the server kept cutting power to the drive over and over causing it to desync from the RAID and eventually the drive stopped altogether. It was under warranty so they replaced it, then the second one had the same problem within three months.
