It was due on Thursday, but it's coming from the US, which means both the USPS and Royal Mail are involved, so I was expecting it in a couple of weeks time.

But no, it arrived days early. Big Grin | :-D

A week (or more probably - I don't check often enough and haven't set up the email alerts yet) one of my RAID 5 NAS disks failed, and because they are all the same age, I ordered a full set of replacements on the 30th Sept.
And today they arrived: four 4TB HGST Ultrastar HDDs, in original sealed packaging, all SMART details reading 0 hours^**
And ... they have a five year replacement warrantee! OMG | :OMG:

16TB of storage^*, guaranteed for 5 years, all for £179.04 (US$219.10) including P&P? I'd call that a bargain - the ones they are replacing cost way more than that.

Faulty disk hot swapped, RAID rebuild in progress. Tomorrow, I'll replace a second, rebuild, and so on. Not sure what I'll do with the older ones when I'm fully swapped. Big Grin | :-D

* 12TB when configured RAID 5
** The old disks are showing 3088 days, 19 hours and three of them are fine.

Pop 'em on eBay with a price of £100+ each.

It's a thought. I could even slam 'em into the old Seagate NAS and flog it as a complete system.

Amazon[^]
They are described as "refurbished" but what arrived is brand new stock with original seals and warranty cards.

Very reasonable!

I've currently got a failed drive on my 6 drive ZFS RAID-6 array using Seagate ST4000VN008's which have the same sector count so I'm hoping these will be an acceptable replacement.

I've order 2!

FYI, I'm also into UK so have the same delay.

TBH, most HDDs have like a 5 year mean time between failure, IIRC so I'm not sure that warranty is all that and a bag of chips.

My poor FIL is dealing with his Drobo unit, and they no longer exist. It won't recognize his 6TB HDD and we don't know why yet.

Are you sure the math is right? 3088 days add up to about 8.5 years OMG | :OMG:

Yep, that's about right.
I bought the Seagate NAS about 8 years ago - it was on special offer (because it turned out the seller was in serious financial difficulties that closed him down a few months later): NAS box, and 4*4TB drives for 1/4 RRP all brand new. And when I upgraded to the faster QNAP box I migrated the HDDs to the new box.

But that's a lot of hours for an HDD, even running as cool as the NAS keeps them, and as low loading as my NAS's get. Hence the "replace all four" idea.

What I may do is stuff one of them in my desktop (replacing the DVD I never use) and use it as a "game disk". 4TB should be about big enough to hold GTA VI when it finally comes out ... Laugh | :laugh:

RAID 5 with anything over a terabyte is asking for trouble during the rebuild. You should seriously consider shifting to RAID 10.

Yay! Some places you're lucky if RM arrives at all. Where I live there are some roads that have no deliveries for a month at a time. Very annoying.
