5 year warranty on what? The drive? What good does a new drive do if you lost all your data?
Lolololol that why you buy two. People buy these drives because they have a large personal server farm. Buying new drives is prohibited.

How much money you need to buy a petabyte of storage of new drives?

These drives aren't targeted to normal individuals. These drives are targeted towards data hoarders. It is why they are consistently sold out when on sale.

It's why they are limited to 5 per order.

This or the Seagate IronWolf NAS 7200RPM Internal SATA Hard Drive 12TB 6Gb/s 3.5-Inch (ST12000VN0007) (Renewed) for $115 on Amazon?
This. This is a grade higher (enterprise) than the IronWolf (NAS). Now if it were a Seagate Exos it would be more of a push. Now, this may be louder as it is designed to run in a datacenter, but you gethigher speeds and better longevity (FWIW, I'm running exclusively enterprise SATA and SAS in my homelab and the sound doesn't bother me, but it might if it were next to my bed or next to a home theater or music listening station).

Quote from PeteyTheStriker View quoted comment :
Their 5 year warranty is something to take with a grain of salt cause you dont know if they will even be around in 5 years, but the price is great and you at least get 1 year warranty from all state which for $70 to get 1 year is not horrible. Most Seagate's or other drives I had failed well within a 2 year period and cost 2-4x the cost of this....

Might bite on this for my Qnap since I do have one bay free.
Well they've been around for 15+ years so far so there is that. I had 2 drives fail on the 5 year mark, on the month, and they refunded me for both since they no longer stocked what I had. That's excellent customer service.

That is good info, I never looked into the company any deeper, I just know I never heard of them, and ebay companies fall apart daily, but still that allstate warranty will be solid no matter what.

If you're relying on any hard drive for your data alone you're doing it wrong.

looking at these 14tb versions, can someone tell me why these are all priced differently?

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_...0ultrastar
They could be from different suppliers who sold them at different price points to goharddrive.

Refurbished spinning drive sounds just as bad as reusing a condom....
If the condom is warrantied for five years?

this seller appears to be reputable so I don't want to cast unnecessary aspersions

That said, I've purchased refurbed / data-center drives before and the experience has not been good. "Like New"... 'Warrantied"... "No Bad Sectors"... etc

One time in particular I got hosed badly. I ordered a number of drives and most had severe problems and were on their death bed. I believe the SMART data had been tampered with b/c I did full sector checks, and those results were not in sync with what SMART was showing. I had 1 drive with a platter so wobbly it shook the machine, and others that had severe re-allocation issues.

Bc reasons I was outside of the standard return window... the seller (again not the one for this listing) promised exchanges and then went MIA leaving me in the lurch.

So my advice is this: find a program you like and deep check the drives as soon as you get them, that way you can use Ebay's return policy if needed.

I am a noob thinking of buying 2 of these for my synology (just recently purchased). What do you recommend I do first thing I receive the drives? What programs to download to test etc.? Thanks.
