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?
I have a rather large array of refurbished 14TB WD HC530 drives and most are still going strong. Ive lost a couple over the last 3-4 years, but the vast majority are still going strong.
Since these are from goHardDrive, I’m guessing they’re most likely Seagate or the white label Seagates (I think they’re called MD drives)? I have had terrible experience with Seagate, even when new. I pretty much exclusively buy WD or Toshiba because of that.
All of that being said, have you checked your cables? Uncorrectable errors can sometimes be caused by bad cables, or they can be caused by actual disk issues.
I mostly avoided seagate, but may have bought one for storage diversity. I’ll have to check if it’s Seagate in the morning.
