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.
EDIT: 12x Seagate Exos X14 14TB SAS drives purportedly refurbed by Seagate themselves. I think that’s the key though, getting them factory refurbished.
