  • Perfect for NAS or extra storage
Capacity: 16TB Style: SATA HDD
I got two drives for my NAS box. In fact its for my NAS box backup. I am overkill when it comes to my network and backing up. I have over 10 years or videos and podcasts for my cleints. I keep everything. So I needed a way to take all my other 1tb and up to 4tb drives and combine them all. So thats where these drives come in. I have a QNAP 642 NAS box, and I also have a Orico USB NAS box that is plugged into the QNAP, it is amy back up unit. These drives are in there and used to backup from my main NAS. It works for me. I know other people have had issues. So far NONE for me and they work very well and fast. They are actual Seagate 16tb drives. Re purposed/renewed. I liek them and they work flawless so far. ... show more

  • Great drives for NAS
These drives are great value for a personal NAS. I'm using them in an unRAID server, which has redundancy so I feel comfortable using them. I'm not doing any business-critical things, but for my media server and personal files, they're fine. I have purchased eight of these drives (four 14TB, four 20TB) and I've received recertified Seagate drives with every order. The oldest drives I have, have been running for nearly a year. I should also mention that their packaging is top notch and your drives will get to you safely. They shipped same day with overnight delivery for my Prime shipping orders. This company publishes their customer service phone number and email on their Amazon seller page, their website, and include warranty information with the drives in the box so they make an effort to be reachable for warranty claims. I've not had any failures to need to do a warranty claim, but I feel confident they will promptly respond to any warranty claims just from the way they've quickly fulfilled and shipped orders in the past. I will continue to buy these drives in the future because they are a great deal and have served me well so far. ... show more

  • Changing my mind about refurb HDDs
In the past, I've been very reluctant to buy refurb HDDs, since HDDs are the computer component most susceptible to physical damage from mis-handling. A while back, a friend mentioned these "Water Panther" refurbs, and that he'd had very good results with the 12TB model. I was considering a NAS upgrade at the time, so this piqued my interest. By the time I got around to actually setting up the new NAS and ordering the drives, the 12TB were out of stock, so I went with 14TB (for slightly more money) instead. The drives I received (5 of them) were actually Western Digital DC HC530 drives. SMART data was clean; I also tested them extensively (multiple write/read passes), and they were flawless. I put them in service in my new NAS (as a ZFS RaidZ2 array), and migrated all of the data from the old NAS across without incident. They have been working great ever since. I'd say the noise level is about average for an enterprise-class HDD, which is to say, not great. If the NAS was in my office I might find it somewhat objectionable; but it is in another area of the house (the crawlspace, LOL!), so nobody needs to hear the drives seeking. Also note that there is no guarantee you will receive the exact same model of drive I did; these are refurbs, presumably whatever "Water Panther" could get their hands on. But based on my (admittedly somewhat limited) experience, and the experience of my friend, they do seem to be exercising reasonable due diligence to ensure that they only ship product that performs "like new". ... show more

  • Way quieter than reviews would suggest (Many updates, over time, below)
Capacity: 12TB Style: SATA HDD
UPDATE 10/5/23: SECOND DRIVE FAILURE. Well this is starting to look shabby in regards to the quality of these drives. Over the last year or so, of the 4x drives I have purchased, 2x have now failed. I contacted Tech on Tech and they were great with their customer service, as they always are, and sent me an RMA # to receive said drive (12TB Exos X18). I really like the X18 line, and have had many in the past but herein lies a big problem with all of the RMAs: you return your drive and get what they have in stock IE it's very doubtful I'll get another X18 in exchange for my faulty X18. We'll see what happens, will update as always with results. UPDATE 9/23/23: Since ordering my first drive from this company (almost a year ago to date above) I've had one drive failure (see previous update below) which had a very fast, no hassle whatsoever turn around and of the other 3x HDDs (which are all Exos 18x 12TB HDDs, which I requested and they filled no prob) are all running perfectly without any issues. This company is reputable and reliable. They don't hassle you within the 2 year warranty period, and I can say after dealing with them through a defective drive scenario they're worth the price, 100%. I'm basically updating this review because I am back on their page ordering another 4x 18TB HDDs, that I am told (by tech on tech) have the same specs as the Seagate Exos X20 18TB drives (ST18000NM003D). I will be updating this review with my findings, as this will be my first time ordering anything other than their 12TB drives. I'm cautious this time because the seller stated that these drives "have the same specs as the ST18000NM003D drives" which I interpret as not being Seagate (who I trust as a brand, moreover the Exos line). Will update, as always, after some time with the 18TB drives. UPDATE 2/21/23: Can't say enough. Requested (2x) x18 Exos 12TB drives and thats what i got. I now have a super affordable RAID array, with quality hdd drives for my 4k movie collection. PLUS a ton of extra space for projects and games. I know ove updates this review quite a few times, but it bears repeating: these drives are quality and if, in the event you have a faulty drive (reallocations) they help you and ship the replacement asap (short the shipping I paid to get the bad drive back to them, ~$20). Overall, happy. UPDATE 2/10/23: AWESOME TECH SUPPORT/CUSTOMER SERVICE! They had a replacement drive in the mail a day after receiving the defective drive. New drive is better than the first. Very happy with this company. You take the risk buying reused enterprise drives, but for the price, im down. Ordered another 2x today to add to my RAID array. Word to the wise: always have a back up drive with everything 1:1 if youre going to play the renewed game. IMO its totally worth it for ~$10 per TB. UPDATE 2/2/23: Drive has failed with ~43000 reallocations. Sent drive back to TechonTech (at my own expense, ~$20 shipping) and am awaiting a replacement to secure my Raid array. This was not optimal, who wants a dead drive in 4 months working time but this is only one of 3 that has failed. Well see how the others hold up in time. For now im removing 2 stars. The inconvenience is a burden atm and im worried for my data that currently sits on one drive. Will Update with the resolution. Its been a few months since purchase and install. I use this HDD for media storage via torrent DLs essentially. The sound level has not been a prob at all. Via other reviews i wonder if quality varies with these, as mine is quiet as can be. Disk read/write noise is barely noticeable past what you'd expect from a mechanical drive. No clicking or buzzing etc, on my unit. Would reccomend and plan to order 3x more for server use. Update: Its been 3-4 months and the drive is still spinnin! I bought another 2 and am running a Raid array. As of now, flawless and not that noisey next to a Toshiba drive of the same age, which is a jet plane in comparison. My OG review stands, would reccomend. Though i still am curious how they vary from drive to drive sas they are refurbs. Imo, save em from the trash heap! ... show more

  • Failed two weeks after the end of return window
Capacity: 22TB Style: SATA HDD
I purchased a 22TB "renewed" NAS drive in 2023. My return window closed on Dec 20, 2023 and the drive stopped working in the first week of Jan 2024. At the boot, I still can hear the drive's making noise, but the BIOS stopped recognizing it and ePSA Pre-boot System Assessment says it is not available. ... show more
