14TB for $160 seems insanely low/good price, even for refurbished?
Or where do you get prices like that?! (I'm in the EU BTW).
I got mine from https://serverpartdeals.com/ that was before Trump 2.0, but it appears prices to EU are still ok. Shipping was brilliant. They appear to have 14TB for about 180 USD.
1/2 to 3/4 of my drives are from server parts deals, only had one of them give me issues and I think the issue was the SATA cable I had. I have several servers.
They are used drives, but I only paid about $100-125 each. Keep watching their site and things go in and out of stock all the time. I wait until they have a good price.
Thanks, seems great!
I found a site called diskprices.com and found reasonable priced per tb value hard drives
Nice site, but the prices are way bigger when you click the link or is it I who doesn't get how it works?
I bought a drive like that from Amazon Germany for that price, found it using diskprices.com. It was "brand new" and indeed the smart reported 0 hours, but it died within a few hours when I sent a dd wipe operation to stress test it.
Conclusion: it was a scam, the drive was already dead and had thousands of hours of life in a server. They used some low level diag tool to reset the counters and make it look like new instead of having 50k hours of life
Fun fact: they shipped it in a paper mailer, completely inappropriate for an HDD. Probably in this way they can blame Amazon warehouse "it's them, they packed it like that!" if someone reports is as DOA. If instead it still works after 50k hours of 24/7 abuse and shipping it across Europe in a paper mailer, then it's indestructible and will outlast the user.
