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?
3 refurbished drives here (12, 18, 26TB), between 1 and 3 years old, no redundancy, no specific healthcheck but also no reported problem so far, even though I misshandled some of them in the beginning.
