I've been looking for some used HDDs and found these.
They have a few hours on them but with a 2.5 million hour rating, it doesn't matter too much for my use.
They come with a 3 month warranty.

They also have an 18tb version for $339: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256125827048?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mk…

      Mine arrived yesterday.
      I purchased 2 drives that came in a box approx 40x20cm. Drives were in individual anti static bags and then wrapped with bubble wrap.
      No visible physical defects to the drives.
      Both started ans are functional.
      Both have SMART data similar to what was in the ad, approx 15000hrs run time with a DoM of 2021.

      Im happy so far given what i wanted to use them for. Will do more definitive testing over the weekend.

        Exact same here, ~15000 hours, May 2021 DoM.

        Wondering what kinda testing you @lolwut go through to kind of know how solid they're gonna be in the short-medium term?

          @Twenty2four4: I do a full format, since its not a new disk that's pretty much all you need.

          If its a brand new disk after the full format, i do a long smart disk check as well.

          Since this disk already has 15k hours its not really necessary.
