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.
Enterprise HDDs from this seller reportedly ran 24/7 for 3+ years without failures or issues.
A similar unit reportedly showed 6 years uptime with 0 bad sectors and 29 emergency head parks.
Buying multiple 12TB drives reportedly provided enough NAS space for foreseeable future needs.
A prior purchase of similar drives reportedly worked out well enough to justify not paying new-drive pricing.
A drive reportedly failed after a little over a year with no warranty coverage.
Another seller reportedly offered the same drive with a 5-year warranty for $299, which undercuts warranty value here.
Future NAS expansion reportedly became more expensive after filling slots with sub-$80 recertified enterprise drives.
A helium leak reportedly caused a GoHardDrive 12TB drive failure, and the RMA process reportedly focused on replacement rather than refund.

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