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’ve bought several hard drives from ebay and had good luck so far. I’m buying them used, so i only buy reliable brands. Before everything went crazy, I was getting obscene deals on SAS drives. I just had to install a SAS card (it was easy and like $15). I do need to go do a backup right now, though, because I’ve been using my regular backup drives to play with distros and AI.
