16TB started off good but two weeks later data error (cyclic redundancy check) and will not itemize. No longer usable. First and last refurbished HDD I will buy.

The drive is also incredibly reliable, and I've had no issues with data corruption or performance drops.I love the fact that Water Panther is committed to sustainability.

So I bough 9 to quicky throw in my NAS (Long story).They work as expected and are all recognized. These are refurbed Seagates as you can probably tell from a quick google search. When I did a model number look up they come up as Seagate Exos Enterprise drives. the drive time has been wiped so Im not sure how many "Miles" the drives had before I got them and not alot of time has passed to reveal bad sectors.BUT, I will say if you are using these in a RAID config and able to replace them as they go down, I dont see the harm in giving them a try.I wouldnt trust them storing critical stuff, but Pics, Videos, Docs, basically home use and low impact business (like websites, etc... ), for the price you cant beat it.

The product was sold as a fully-refurbished item by ServerPartDeals and fulfilled by Amazon. I'm usually not a fan of refurbished items, especially IT hardware, but this was an amazing deal I couldn't pass up at $94 each for 14TiB drives. The specs on the drives are 7200 RPM SATA-III CMR drives with no cache. They are designed for internal use, but have been performing well for both DAS and NAS configurations for me, and I'd highly recommend them. Given the price point and real-world performance, they're a better option for large arrays and cheaper to replace than more expensive or more ruggedized drives.There are bigger drives, but the price-per-tibibyte of these drives was almost too good to be true. A pack of 10 arrived extremely well-packaged in specially-designed protective top and bottom slotted foam to keep them from banging together in transit. Each was individually wrapped in in a sealed static-free bag. They slid into a high-quality 10-bay external DAS enclosure without issues, and when kept in high-power mode have had no problems with unexpected offlining or bad sectors.The one caveat to be aware of is that all S.M.A.R.T. data is erased by Water Panther as part of their remanufacturing process, so you may want to take the SMART data with a grain of salt. For that reason, I deliberately skipped a days-long sector-by-sector read/write burn-in test because any bad sectors have presumably already been handled by the remaufacturing process, and simply ran a quick conveyance test and enabled bad sector monitoring so I can rely on any bad sector counts, which remain at zero on all drives even under many weeks of heavy use by aggressive RAID systems. They have actually performed better with UnRAID and TrueNAS than a number of Seagate IronWolf drives with 512MB of on-disk cache that were *designed* for NAS. Even with enclosures packed full and running enterprise workloads, the drive temperatures of the disks in the enclosure almost never rise above a 50 ℃ threshold, often averaging as little as 30 ℃, leaving plenty of room for margin.If you're looking to populate a NAS or DAS system, and have a decent enclosure with good airflow and a backplane that can handle the power requirements and sustained throughput of a large number of drives, I **highly** recommend the Water Panther Eco drives as a cost-effective alternative to Seagate IronWolf or Western Digital Red drives, or even Water Panther's own Arsenal line. You can't beat the price, the performance is solid, and the sustained throughput is just as good as that of higher-end drives. Personally recommended!

So far these drives have performed flawlessly in my first NAS (a 2-bay Synology DS224). They popped right in, and the NAS software recognized them immediately. I ran all of the detailed and thorough error-checking applications, and both drives are flawless. Provides gobs of storage for the money, and having two in a RAID configuration raised my confidence for them to be used as backups for my Macs, and as a movie streaming library (Plex). Perfect!
