  Still can't believe I paid under $13/Tb from the recent East Digital deal. Even though they're refurb, I could have half the drives fail and still be ahead in value compared to this deal.

    This product is for a different target market - easy plug and go. Not dealing with internal hard drive and homelab server users…

    How exactly did they refurb those drives? An oily rag wipe?

      Professionally data wiped, drop tested, cleaned, re-packaged, re-sealed. Nah, just a basic drive clean if needed.

      If the sticker has the word refurbished printed, the drive is either a repaired or return drive (but re-tested) by Seagate. If not, then it is basically a second hand drive.

      I had a bad experience with a WD refurbished HDD (WD sent it for warranty replacement), it was noisy and died soon after the warranty finished (with HDD warranty, the refurbished HDD only carries the warranty for the remaining period). So, hopefully, those sellers are selling just second hand HDDs, rather than real refurbished HDDs.

  These can be fully formatted to remove all that junk and free up space though, yeah?

    No, you can’t format away marketing maths.

    Storage makers: 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes

    Operating systems: 1GB = 1024MB = 1,073,741,824 bytes

    If you really want the OS to report it the same way, you have 2 choices: (1) hack your OS or (2) flash your HDD/SSD firmware to false report more bytes (but when OS tries to write those fake / non-existing bytes, it doesn't work).

  Some of these larger capacity Seagate drives are pretty high on the backblaze failure charts… I reckon you wouldn't want 16TB of anything too important stored on there…
