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.

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.

Can't drives turn themselves off if they are idled? Still you're right that is a pretty high number to me regardless.

If the drive idles itself into a low power mode (as a result of its EPC settings), it shouldn't count as a power cycle. It will count as a load/unload cycle, and possibly start/stop, depending on the particular settings and situation. However, if the host machine puts it to sleep, it might count as a power cycle. I'm not entirely sure because I always disable that.

But 1685 power cycles over 260 days seems odd, especially for a server (some of which can run for months, a year, even more sometimes, without a reboot).
