Last time I ordered a WD red hard drive, it landed on the porch so hard that I heard it from the backyard. Needless to say, I returned that hard drive before even testing it.
Server part deals direct has this for $364. It makes me nervous there's so many 28tb available refurbished. I wonder if there's a systemic problem with them.

You could probably also opt to get it delivered to a local FedEx or UPS office and pick it up there I imagine

it was only around 1994 when the employee at CompUSA looked impressed when I was paying $2000(1994 Dollars) for a new Compaq computer with a "massive" 2GB 5-1/4-inch hard drive.
holy cow, 28TB hard drive is about 14,000 times bigger than that old 2GB hard drive!

When I got home, I plugged it in. Just before I was about to format it for my Mac, I noticed dozens of folders on the drive. Let's just say I discovered what college boys did with such large hard drives. (and probably too stupid to wipe the drive before returning it to Best Buy?)
I ended up not formatting the drive and just enjoyed the contents.

they really should just label packages throw and no throw. it saves tremendous time and strain if they could just toss packages, 99% of which are fine. but literall ythis and glass are the only two things you cant throw lol.
they have their uses for example a nas system for cold storing massive data that you backup with other drives. but if you are trying to use them for any kind of heavy lifting IE they are on and running all the time yeah these will fail with time. datacenters understand their units lifespan when units start failing and its just too much maintenance/ data loss risk for them to swap them out.
but its a great way to store massive amounts of data relatively cheaply
not sure who really needs this or practically uses them, piraters who hoard anime/games/movies/shows maybe?
