$21.67 / TB

I've heard nothing but good things about these drives, should I go ahead and get one? All my 2TB's are filling up since I'm offloading my SSD's.

well at least it's not a seagate.

from the reviews most of these were barely ever restarted and just spun for a few years, not so much 'refurbished' but 'repurposed'.

i mean these are enterprise drives designed for millions of hours MTBF, not some sea crate constellation.

RAID 0 has no redundancy you silly goose. If one drive dies in a RAID 0 array, all your data is corrupted. You're thinking about RAID 5.

7K3000 and 7K4000 are really cheap and powerful but... THEY MAKE LOUD NOISE.

buying a 1TB HDD is not cost effective, 2TB minimum.

>>58702648

that's what i hear about the x300 toshitba drives but they go for a good price on sale pretty often, considering the 128 MB cache.
