Comment on 12TB for $80 - serverpartdeals.com

I just bought two of their 12TB for $100 each and they were the manufactured recertified. One had like 8 hours run time and the second had like 36 hours so brand new for the lifetime of a hard drive. So far no issues. Also beware these drives are very loud.

Don’t use raid 5. It hasn’t been recommended for like a decade. Use 6 at minimum if you value your data.

Is this a normal sound for it? sndup.net/bpx9/

Yeah I think that’s normal , I moved my NAS to a closet because of how loud the drives are. I wasn’t even able to sleep with that noise lol

Refurbished drives get their SMART data reset during the process, they absolutely had more than that originally.

Oh wow I did not know that.
That’s absolutely terrifying. Like resetting the speedometer for used cars.

You mean odometer, resetting the speedometer wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Hang on, you don’t typically buy your cars at 15Km/h?

You’d better hope that be pretty close to zero before attempting repairs.

That’s why you run a couple rounds of preclear to stress them and then run a fresh smart report.

Amazon reseller for xbox drives was getting 10 year old dirty crusty drives and swapping the HD controller to a more recent one. So SMART report looked like a young drive. Xbox casing had a sticker or warranty void. So me being me wondered and opened it to find a dirty ass old drive inside. i called Amazon and initially they said it is outside of return window and warranty…But i explained it doesn’t matter when I detected the fraud it is still fraud. So they gave me my money back

This has got me concerned, wondering how do you tell it’s old if the controller is replaced? Are there serials or dates on the other parts or just obvious wear?

I think there is a difference on Refurbished drives and Manufactured recertified. On server part deals the prices were different and manufactured recertified being a little more expensive for the same drive. So I assumed the drives were send back from a data center and tested again but they cant be spelled as new.
