They work! Super cheap!
Drives work. I took the plunge and got 2 recertified 12 Tb drives. Both drives work. Some of my cords in my pc aren’t working to get all 4 of my drives going at the same time, but I have confirmed with the working cords that these drives definitely work and are good and aren’t related to any issues my computer is having. Can’t wait to get my PC put back together and get these loaded. Will update if I have any issues!

So far so good
So far no issues with “re-manned” drives. Built 2 NAS and so far so good.

Excellent for NAS RAID setups.
This is a high-capacity drive, and along with the other drives in my NAS, I have enough storage to last me for another decade or so. I now have four of these, and I’ll be getting one more just to make sure I can recover if one fails, although so far they’re all doing well.

Great value, especially compared to new, but…
I purchased a pair of these manufacturer-recertified NAS hard drives for a Plex server after Linus blew up the server parts website and made it impossible for anyone to get a good deal over there. Thankfully, these appear to be just as good as their brand-new counterparts, even if the ones I received were manufactured in 2019. Both appear to be in perfect health.Just be warned, however, that the actual usable storage capacity is only 10.9 terabytes after formatting!

The very best drives I’ve had
Almost 2 and a half years into nearly 24/7 operation in a HPE Proliant I use as a NAS/homelab. These have been the greatest deal I’ve ever come across for fast, high capacity hard drives. They came with low power on time, they’re not loud, and they don’t get hot. Basically everything I could have hoped for and more.

One of four drives failed in 10 months
One of the four drives I purchased began to fail after 10 months. The QNAP NAS I was running it in reported an increasing rate of SMART errors. I replaced the drive in the arran and took the offending drive out for further testing in a PC. After reformatting and mounting the drive in Windows 11, it passed a quick test in SeaTools but repeatedly failed a long self test.I confirmed with Seagate that the drive is no longer under warranty, so it’s basically e-waste at this point. For my non-critical home use (in a backed-up RAID) the low price was worth the risk of a failure. If you have a more critical application, I suggest paying more for the new drives with 5-year warranties.

Worth the cost, 100%
Well packaged from vibration and static.Not able to tell at all that they are refurbished/renewed. less the cost.Work 100% in a NAS box with RAID 1 (Mirroring)They are a bit louder than the drives I had. Not an annoyingly level of increase. Just more noticeable.Within around 3 feet of the NAS box, you can hear them clicking and tapping away when in use. it’s very pleasant for someone my age that grew up with mechanical drives, with their distant clicks echoing in whatever case you have them in.

Personally had a bad experience
I personally had a bad experience, purchase a 12tb hard drive and when install in my pc only shows 11gb, test it has multiple bad sectors

Got this and a Barracuda 12tb on my PC. I have put both as only turn on when in use to reduce the noise which not that loud but you will hear the arm moving. Done test and no error found good speed and seems brand new. Storing old games and files that i wont use that much

Ich habe diese generalüberholte Seagate IronWolf 12 TB (ST12000VN0007) bewusst als gebrauchte Festplatte gekauft – der Verkäufer war transparent und hat klar darauf hingewiesen, dass es sich um ein gebrauchtes Gerät handelt. Das fand ich sehr fair.Die Festplatte ist mittlerweile über 8000 Betriebsstunden in meinem NAS im Einsatz – und das bei täglicher Nutzung mit mehreren Snapshots und entsprechend hohen Schreibzugriffen. Trotz anfänglicher Bedenken hinsichtlich der Laufzeit oder möglicher Abnutzung bin ich bislang absolut zufrieden: Die HDD läuft ruhig, ohne Aussetzer, ohne Fehler, und sämtliche SMART-Werte sind weiterhin im grünen Bereich.Die Performance stimmt, die Zuverlässigkeit ist top, und für den Preis bekommt man eine Platte, die qualitativ immer noch mithalten kann – gerade im NAS-Betrieb, wo es auf Stabilität ankommt.Für eine generalüberholte Festplatte ist das meiner Meinung nach eher ungewöhnlich positiv, weshalb ich sie nach meiner persönlichen Erfahrung klar weiterempfehlen kann.✅ Meine Kaufempfehlung für alle, die mit Gebrauchtware verantwortungsvoll umgehen können und ein gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis suchen.

Met de andere recenties te lezen werd ik toch wat bezorgd om de kwaliteit van de hdd. Maar ik heb een full read + WRITE test gedaan met Hard Disk Sentinel en alles is tip top. Geen bad sectors, snelheid is goed. Geen problemen.Het tik geluid dat mensen raporteren hier, lijkt me wat overdreven. Het maakt inderdaad wat geluid, maar zeker niet ongewoon.Uiteraard kan het zijn dat ik geluk heb gehad met mijn bestelling. Als ik in de toekomst nog bestel, zal ik deze recentie updaten.
