The Exos X20 drives released middle of December of 2021. It's fairly difficult to exceed 5 years of usage in less than 28 months...
I haven't bought refurbs (I bought new), but I've had 4 rolling in my Synology for a couple years now and no hint of trouble on any of them.

But rather than anecdotes, I like this website:

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/ba...-for-2023/

They had 463 of my model running, ST16000NM002J, with an average age of 13 months old. They had 2 failures with them last year. Seagate does have a few models which do pretty poorly, so maybe you have one of those. Either way this kind of bulk data is more useful, I think.
I contacted the seller, goHardDrive, and got a response within minutes!

This is regarding the refurbished Seagate Exos X20 16TB SATA HDD ST16000NM000D, item# 9SIA5ADKA10959 on Newegg. Does it carry the 5 years warranty like usual? Thank you!

05/05/24 02:26 PM
Hi,

Yes, these ST16000NM000D comes with 5 years warranty from our company, start on the date of purchased. If any issues with the drive, you can return to us for a replacement or refund (if out of stock).

Thank you.

Best Regards

Never buying these Exos drives again. 2 mechanical failures in 3 years. I have one more and I'm just waiting for that one to die a premature and catastrophic death as well.

Mine were all purchased new. I purchased 3 of the 12TB (ST12000NM001G) at the same time. They were operated nearly 24/7 so about 26,000 hrs on them. I have 1 still going with 33,950 hours on it. I have an HGST 8TB w/ 54,073 hours and it's still rolling along. Honestly, I've rarely had drives fail at all prior to 50k hours, but I had never had any mechanical failures in 26 years of being a computer geek. I recently bought an IronWolf so we shall see if that fares any better than the Exos.

90 days. Wait for a deal directly from goharddrive. Usually 3-5 years. I bought 2 16TB drives from them last year for about the same price with 5 year warranties.

Whoever says 90 days is wrong—search just about any thread on similar deals and you'll find that GHD (NOT SPD) honors their 5 year warranty regardless of the marketplace.
