Got a pair of 14TB Toshiba enterprise drives from serverpartdeals they both have 53,000 power on hours and 27 power cycles. So powered on for 6 years. Should I return these sumbitches?
>>109678792serverpartdeals sells used stock so you got what you paid for.and those drives should easily have at least 4 more years in them, toshiba enterprise drives are serious workhorses. only reason whatever server sold them is because they upgraded to 24TB drives or something.
>>109678792a fair bit longer than my used ones I got a few years back.then again, situation has changed now hasn't it?
>>109678792RAID, assume one will fail
>>109678792>>109678809>toshibathe estimated life left "value" drops to 1 at 40k hours.no idea how accurate their estimations are but I would not trust these disks with anything not mirrored AND backed up.
>>109678792Cold storage only. Mechanical, working non stop 6 years. Sold. Most likely so many of them failed already that they decide to phase the model out. And it's not because Toshiba, it's because all the HDDs are like this.
>>109679206>the estimated life left "value" drops to 1 at 40k hours.That doesn't always reflect reality, hell it could just be programmed to return that because it has that much warranty.>no idea how accurate their estimations are but I would not trust these disks with anything not mirrored AND backed up.You should not trust any HDD without backups to begin with.
>>109679206Oh no, 40k hours on a server HDD. That's so extreme!
>>109678792Hard drives don't die. It's a myth pushed by big SSD.
>>109678792I have one of these since 3 years ago sitting in my IKEA drawer as a cold backupShould not be doing this?
>>109678792>buy a used device>it was used! nigger, retarded much?
>>109678792Look for physical corrosion, it is more consistent than software report.
