You most likely need to use the provided SATA extension cable they send with the hard drive or perform the 3.3v pin fix.
It went down $1.01 from the other day. I am not sure why it is exiting news, I was thinking of another for a second spare, but then again 5yrs is a long time to worry about the seller still being around by then, so a second spare might be good sense either way.

The price on these refurbished 12tb hard drives has dropped once again to $72.99. Great for use in a NAS with a 5 year warranty !

I think this is the going price - I've had this on my ebay watch list for weeks, and the price hasn't changed. I'm waiting for it to get closer to $60 - I read on here that some people got these for around that price in recent months.

They were slightly more expensive earlier but I had a 10% off coupon so I ordered 3 for 200. Will be a huge upgrade to the 3tb drives I currently have. They are currently on their way and should get here on Thursday.
