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.

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.

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

Yep. My existing drives have power on hours of like 72,000 and a power cycle of 48. The system doesn't go to sleep though. I don't know if that would affect the power cycle count or not.

Run a solid raid setup?
And if they fail you still have to rebuild and only covered for less than two yr if any.

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.
Oh couse you need to have backups but there is a reason they were pulls or fails. You odds are greater it will happen again.

The reason why they were pulled is to replace them with bigger drives or they were already fully depreciated for tax purposes. They don't pull failures to re-sell. The odds are not greater for failures. But please go ahead and spend twice as much for almost zero benefit. I'll take twice as much capacity and I'll still never lose data.

This is ridiculous. If new hard drives are so great, why don't they have 6 year warranties?

Also, refurbs from GoHardDrive do have 5 year warranties if you're really that worried about it.

What reason is your wild incorrect guess on why these are pulled? I already told you why. And I have done it many times working with servers and storage.
