Found this on my routine check for NAS HDD's. Looks like a decent deal. I will wait for snarky comments telling me if I am wrong. It includes 5-year seller warranty.

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?

Yes, they mention in description it is pulled off a HP enterprise server

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.

I didn't get into HDD market for couple years. I had my Unraid server running with couple 12TB drives. It was $80 in slickdeals.. Holy crap, these go up to $300 now???

$300 for a refurbished.
Thanks, Datacenters!

So far, all 3 of my GoHardDrive refurb drives have failed. On a positive note, they've paid out every time.
I've got 5 x 12TB drives from GoHardDrive in RAIDZ2 set to never go into power saving. I have been using them with TrueNAS for 2-3 years now, and none have shown any issues.
This isn't meant to contradict your experience with 3 drives. It's just meant to be another data point. IMO, sharing that GoHardDrive honors their warranties might be even more important than our pass/fail stories.

dude, i was literally thinking this same thing. i got 4 drives for my nas server for under $400 a few years back. Was just thinking recently i should get some backups incase one fails i can swap out quick. I guess if it fails now ill just be running without redundancy. lol no way im paying $300 for a used drive. crazy.
