Good hard drives for homelab and TrueNas
I have bought nine of these hard drives and I'm still waiting on four of these to arrive today. The five hard drives I'm currently using works and TrueNAS saw each drives without any problems and the S.M.A.R.T test/results still shows the drives as good. It was extremely well packaged and If I didn't know I bought a recertified drive. You could past it off as new. I can't speak on long-term reliability of these drives as I just started using the current five within the last week and I'm still waiting on four additional hard drives. As of right now I'm extremely happy with the purchase of these drives. Also, for just regular home lab use, these drives should last about three to five years at least. You have to remember these are enterprise drives and not just regular NAS hard drives. These are made for 24/7/365 of continuous use. I have the drives in a 24 bay storage enclosure with high airflow. I'm planning on putting it in my basement to keep the system cool/cooler year-round. TLDR: As of writting this review, I'm extremely happy with the five current drives of these that I ordered four more drives. I can't speak for long-term reliability but I'm happy right now.
