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?

    My friend had bad luck with GoHardDrives. I bought 6 HGST 12TB drives from a different seller a couple of years ago and it’s been pretty decent. I had 1 fail within the year and got a refund with no effort. A second failed shortly after, outside of warranty. Accounting for the 1 I paid to replace I still came in below cost of new. Plus I now have a very healthy mix of power on hours and models with RAIDZ2 which I feel good about.
