Has anyone bought from here before? Looking to upgrade my NAS drives.

    Approx 35k power on hours. Tested with 0 errors, 0 bad sectors, 0 defects. SMART details intact.

    That’s about 4 years of power on time. Considering they’re enterprise grade equipment, they should still be good for many years to come, but it is worth taking into consideration.

    I’ve bought from these guys before, packaging was super professional. Card board box with special designed drive holders made of foam; each drive is also individually packed with anti-static bags and silica packs.

    Highly recommend.

        This is pretty standard for enterprise equipments — comes with some amount of years of warranty, enterprises depreciate the cost over that many years and sell them as/before the warranty expires to get whatever value they can get (as far as books concerned, they’re already depreciated to $0 anyway).
