I have several of these and they been solid, before I would get refurb or open box from amazon and send them back if the smart failed, guessing a lot of people just stick their old drives in the box and return it so it wasn’t great
Yeah serverpartdeals is legit. Between work and home, I think I’ve tested & deployed 150+ drives from them over the last 3yrs. No duds, no failures, no complaints. Great customer service on the corp side for big orders, too. 10/10 would recommend.

Any suggestions as to where we all can source cheap high-volume drives, such as refurbs pulled from upgraded old racks?

I’m looking to source a cheap trusted family member if anyone has one going?

Lots of families seem to be relocating these days for some reason… Maybe try reaching out there. 👍

I got one from goHardDrive on eBay (link. It was cheap enough, looks flawless, and knock on wood has been working fine.
Googling around and others seemed to think they’re reputable.
