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.
Common Questions (4)
This price is much higher than recent refurbished enterprise-drive deals people cite, including 12TB drives for $65-$75, 14TB used drives for $110, and 16TB/18TB refurb listings around $150-$200. Several comments frame the current deal as far above the older sub-$10/TB or low-$10/TB pricing they previously saw.
Warranty coverage appears to vary by seller and listing. One buyer reported no warranty after a drive failed a little over a year in, while another said the same type of drive was available from a different seller with a 5-year warranty for $299.
Yes, some have run continuously for years without issues: one setup with 8x14TB and 8x18TB drives from ServerPartDeals reportedly ran 24/7 for over 3 years with no failures. A separate Amazon unit of the same model was also reported with 6 years of uptime, 30 power cycles, 29 emergency head parks, and 0 bad sectors.
The RMA process can provide a replacement after you contact the seller and send a photo of the drive label. One buyer specifically made sure a replacement was coming rather than a refund after a helium-leak failure.

I personally made the jump to RAIDZ2 (RAID6) because of the pricing. I went with 5x12TB, and I spent less than $80 per drive. At current pricing, replacing one drive will cost almost as much as the whole array. Plus, a few years ago it was common to get 3 or even 5 year warranties on these refurbished drives.Perhaps you are confusing the pricing of new consumer drives with used enterprise ones? I wouldn't argue with you about $100 for a new 8TB drive. But this deal is for refurbished enterprise drives.

Not urgent for me, yet, but my GF backs up to external drives. She last went from 12tb to 20tb, and is staring down spending $600+ to not have to split the 20tb backup's backup between 12tb and 4tb externals.
I did the goharddrive 12 tb deal for $75ish.. just had one die (helium leak..) .. I left gohd a ebay message and issued a rma after I sent a pic of the drive lable.. .. I made sure A replacement was coming and not a refund.. About that time I bought a couple 12tb wd external drives for backup.. one of those died the same week, but WD only has 3yrs warrenty andI cant find the reciept darn it.. btw the gohd had a 5yr warenty..
