I recently started searching for a backup drive of larger sizes ( my last backup drive was 2TB lol) so bear with me. In this case, this could be a drive that's been retired from a server with a lot of hours, right? Is a 0 hour refurb drive just rolling the odometer back and claiming it has 0 hours? It's probably better to wait for a deal for a new one?

I'm not sure but I've heard that you can if you can get to the controller and know what you're doing...

I've settled on a $100 6tb enterprise with 2k hours from a smaller seller and passed my tests...had my eyes on this but that zero hours is sketchy tho they offer 5 years and have high feedback (Some negs)....should run test right away anyways for something so expensive.

So far, all 3 of my GoHardDrive refurb drives have failed. On a positive note, they've paid out every time.

Did they refund or replace? I have a failed 12tb from them that I paid $75 for but now goes for $300+

Last time I did it I received a refund - it sucked.

I got two of these yesterday for my UGREEN. They passed all tests and seem to function great.
