At less than 10$ a TB and 5 year warranty would this be a good deal? Looking to set up my first home media server so no crucial data and would have 4 set up in raid 5.
I’ve been buying drives from MDD for a while. Virtually all the drives they sell are decommissioned from enterprise environments. Some have tens of thousands of hours on them. I’ve had a few that only had a couple hundred hours on them. I’ve had a few failures over the course of the few dozen drives I’ve bought over the years. Returns are always quick and painless. Would I use this for a critical data or a client? Absolutely not, but I definitely use these for storage of home media and non-critical applications.
I have never heard of that manufacturer.
TechRadar: MDD - which is a white label brand owned by Goharddrive - sources stocks of what looks like new but EOL (end of line) hard disk drives.
Likely safe to use, but expect a lot of “not as advertised” for everything from speed to longevity.
The last 6 drives I purchased was this brand 18T was the sweet spot at that time.
You’re way better off getting some refurb drives off serverpartdeals.com
Just use segate if youre using hdd/nas. I trust them most of my pc storage is segate it runs as good as hdds will run
