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

    Read it as 120TB at first and my eyes nearly jumped out of their sockets.

      12 TB for $80 is a deal for me! My 8tb was around $200 to $300 in 2021

        It’s “refurbed” by the seller. It also says it has approximately 35,000 hours on it. That’s 4 years of continual use. I wouldn’t trust that with anything.

            Depends on the usage. That’s the gamble you take. I would maybe buy three and put two in a mirror and keep the third one as a replacement?

            That’s 240$ for three drives without warranty though… Nevermind I’d prefer to buy two new Toshiba X300 new for 210$ a piece and forget the headache and get the warranty.

            Sometimes you get what you pay for … Sometimes

              The Toshiba x300 is a consumer drive, the drive they are offering is an enterprise grade storage drive. I have only bought enterprise or nas speed drives in the past. Consumer drives may not be built to the same standards.
