Approx 35k power on hours. Tested with 0 errors, 0 bad sectors, 0 defects. SMART details intact.

That’s about 4 years of power on time. Considering they’re enterprise grade equipment, they should still be good for many years to come, but it is worth taking into consideration.

I’ve bought from these guys before, packaging was super professional. Card board box with special designed drive holders made of foam; each drive is also individually packed with anti-static bags and silica packs.

Highly recommend.

They’re generally highly regarded.

Censorship of words makes me not know which definition of regarded you are using.

I too like posting cryptic, non-detailed complaints with minimal to no explanation, logic, or rationale for the express intent to sow confusion and chaos while simultaneously standing for nothing

On Reddit, wallstreetbets used to call everything “retarded” and they’ve stopped and moved to “regarded” as a way of “almost” saying an offensive word.

Thanks for clearing up the confusion

I really wish we had a service like this on Europe.

I know they ship to Europe. But shipping costs are prohibitive for small buys.

Look on eBay, there are oftentimes some from server farm providers like hetzner

[–] RichSPK@lemux.minnix.dev 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

"Seller refurbished" just means they're used and were tested, right?

[–] B0rax@feddit.de 0 points 6 months ago

Most likely, yes

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I * think * those were the brand I bought?

Regardless, 80 for 12 TB is a steal.

[–] Mir@programming.dev 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

How are the doing so far?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No issues what's so ever. Have them in a four drivE QNAS. I was a bit concerned about them being cheaper drives initially but after I got them installed I literally haven't thought about them again in terms of reliability.

0 complaints and they seem to be doing about as well as some more expensive drives might be.

[–] Mir@programming.dev 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Thank you, I was getting some buyer's regret because of the hast decision to buy.

I mean, I don't know your use case, but as a self-hoster/ research scientist, I think my usage is much much. And I do rely on mine for business, as my wife and I both rely on it for hosting our data, which for me is large geospatial datasets, and when I'm doing large compute runs, there are many many read writes. We also store a large amount of music/ videos for streaming and running a jelly fin server. Thats been fine as well. I think since in our case we don't have a ton of people hitting the server at once, its just never as stressed as it might be in a corporate/ multi user environment.
