Community Reviews
This refurbished 14TB Toshiba enterprise drive is aimed at cheap bulk storage, but the current price sits well above past refurb pricing. The drive itself has a strong reliability track record in long running NAS and server setups, with examples of multi drive arrays running 24 7 for years and clean SMART health on a recent unit. Warranty support has also been handled through RMA for replacement. The main drawback is value, since similar drives were bought far cheaper before, and one drive from the seller failed after a little over a year with no warranty.
Archivists storing large media libraries, because the drive capacity suits long-term bulk storage and can keep a Linux archive on one disk.
RAID users replacing failed disks, because the pricing makes a spare drive cost close to a full array rebuild.
Home NAS builders adding bulk storage, because these enterprise drives have run 24/7 for years without failures in multi-drive arrays.
Shoppers expecting old low-per-terabyte pricing, because current refurbished enterprise drive prices are far above the earlier $10-per-terabyte deals.
Buyers who need long warranty coverage, because similar drives have failed after a little over a year and some units were sold with no warranty.
People planning to expand storage gradually, because replacing or adding drives now can cost almost as much as the existing array.

I have decided to just lower my use of HDD space by improving my own memory. Let's see where that gets me.
