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.

            It certainly could. That’s the gamble you’re taking.

            I usually replace drives after 5 years if they are doing anything I consider important. So those drives to me would have 1-2 years left in them. Of course, I have seen a good number of drives I have repurposed to things less important still manage to rack up impressive numbers of hours.
