Bought from goHardDrive. I’ve already had a drive fail and require replacement, and that was with pretty much no use. It just failed on a smart test. The same drive, maybe, has already failed again. I’m going to nag em because of the warranty, but it’s pretty worrying. Like, I’m sure failing a scrub isn’t the end of the world, but it’s also not a good thing, right?

Going on 2 years now with all 12 I have currently in my PowerEdge. I run parity and health checks monthly, and still seem to be going strong.
I have a rather large array of refurbished 14TB WD HC530 drives and most are still going strong. Ive lost a couple over the last 3-4 years, but the fast majority are still going strong.
Since these are goHardDrive, I’m guessing they’re most likely Seagate or the white label Seagates (I think they’re called MD drives)? I have had terrible experience with Seagate, even when new. I pretty much exclusively buy WD or Toshiba because of that.

I mostly avoided seagate, but may have bought one for storage diversity. I’ll have to check if it’s Seagate in the morning.
