★★★★★Great as Backup Drives!

I purchased 2x of these drives. They were well packaged and protected. I have already done an extensive test on one of the drives which already had power on time of more than 1350 days when connected it first. The SMART showed no errors and my Hard Disk Sentinel Surface Test to Reinitialize Disk Surface showed no errors after the scan. So everything is working great on the first disk. The second disk already had power on time of more than 800 days when connected it first. The SMART showed no errors and I will give update once Hard Disk Sentinel Surface Test to Reinitialize Disk Surface has finished. UPDATE: The disk is working perfectly and passed all tests. Overall I am happy with the purchase as both work and will form part of my backup pool. I feel confident and should one fail the pool will recover lost files. Purchasing a new or refurbished drive, any drive can fail at anytime. Saving money on a drive that might last me another 5 years or more is great. Lets see how it goes!

★★★★★Good Drives

I bought 2 of these Seagate Exos x12 12TB SATA 6Gb/s 256MB Cache Enterprise Hard Drives because of the price and guarantee. I had a drive go bad in my main NAS, that has been running for over 5 years with renewed drives in it. I've always bought renewed drives for storage. I used these to transfer data from a NAS with the bad drive so I could replace it. They work great, very fast. Recommend for anyone.

★★★★★Drive died after just over a year of use.

The drive started clicking and whirring within weeks of installation. After just over a year of usage, it died on me. Avoid.

★★★★★Suspicious...

Bought two of these. Both mine had 30k hours (!) on them. They work fine, but I can't deny I'm worried. As a mainly SSD person, I'm not sure how many clicks and noises HDDs are supposed to make before you get concerned... Price is insane though. On diskprices.com, these are the best price per tb drives to come from a big name brand. 24TB for 160$ is an absolute steal. Agh. Get these with backblaze, or a raid 5 setup or something. As long as you have some contingency, you should be fine?

★★★★★No Complaints

The capacity is great and it’s been reliable for several months.  It runs an average of about 3 hours a day in my setup.  It is audible so if you need a silent drive, keep looking.  Mine runs cool but I have adequate airflow.  I tried running it with a usb adapter and no airflow just to see how warm it gets and I wouldn’t recommend that because it gets quite warm.
