>refurbished
literally means they take old hard drive from commercial RAID setups and resell
Don't risk it anon, much higher failure rate with abysmal transfer speeds

>got a sequentially-numbered pair of these running as a 6tb raid 0 array

Yeah I plan on running these things in RAID1so I can handle a bit of failure considering the cost. I just wanted some perspective from anyone that might have taken the plunge with these as opposed to random Amazon reviews.

And to be honest I've had a string of failures in the first year on brand new drives. I'm super wary about putting much money up but I need a place to store raw video and mid/long term storage of photos photos.

How long have they been going? Are SMART numbers in line?

>>59342909
Yes: only something like a couple dozen thousand hours uptime combined and only like a couple power cycles each. They run quietly. Their MTBF is rated at like a hundred million hours, so we're only looking at like 1% down so far.

Bought about 10 of those Hitachi 2TB drives when they were $28-$35 each. 3 of them arrived DoA but eBay meant it was an easy return with free shipping as soon as you open a case. If you have to pay to RMA then I wouldn't bother since there's a good chance you'll get a dud. Also few of them click and make weird noises so I wouldn't trust these at all unless you run a Raid-Z3 or a SnapRAID with a 3+ parity on them.

Also bought a bunch of 6TB white label drives but I haven't used them yet. They've all tested fine with initial checks but since I have a 1yr warranty with those and not 30 days I haven't bothered with a full write test yet.

I need the best SSD available, recommend me one /g/.

Samsung 960 Pro

>>59343152
SATA or NVME?

>>59343214
If he wants SATA then he doesn't want the best.

>>59343161
960 Evo is pretty nice too

>>59343225
true that but but SSD is kind of a nebulous term these days

>>59343269
That's not the best anon, what're some cheap faggot

Processor depends entirely on your usage. An Atom is probably fine but it's too bad the C2000 line is completely fucked and dies after 2 years so just get an i3/Pentium or Xeon equivalent.

>>59342641
Bought a couple of them. Havent had a problem yet. But they only have about 32 hours each.
