DELL/Seagate Constellation ES ST4000NM0033 4TB 7200RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Enterprise Hard Drive - 5 Year Warranty (Renewed)

Bricked my computer, with it installed wouldn’t let me boot or install an os, didn’t allow keyboard input when plugged in, caused a lot of issues when plugged in

I ordered 2 of these, an HP version came in. I checked power-on time and it was zero hours. Relatively fast and quiet, enterprise grade and 5 year warranty.

I purchased two of these in Feb 2021 with 5 year warranty. One of them failed in Jan 2024. Amazon contacted reseller regarding my issue and advised me reseller would contact me within 48 hours. Reseller never reached out to me. Apparently the reseller has no intention of honoring warranty by replacing or refunding.

Okay so 2 of the 4 drives I purchased have failed in a 1 week timeframe so removing 3 stars for the failure of these. I still believe if you get good drives this is a tremendous value and the company does ship them quickly when they are in stock. In my case I was unlucky and received 2 that failed. One failed my NAS integrity tests and reported "The drive has failed" and the second drive reported hundreds of "I/O failure" and "An I/O failure occurred on the drive". I purchased two of the Toshiba N300 drives that are on the Synology compatibility list (although the other 2 Constellation drives seem to be running fine in my unit so far.)Original review below...All hard drives are used once you plug them in. Will a refurbished unit die faster than a new one? Who knows - but at half the cost of new disks I can populate my NAS with good quality 16TB (12TB usable) storage and replace a failed drive if needed without any data loss. These drives came in sealed in antistatic bags. They were clearly cleaned, tested, and worked as designed. I performed a long destructive test prior to placing them into production and they were amazingly free of bad sectors. They came very professionally and carefully packaged to avoid shipping damage. Best of all they arrived extremely fast - much quicker than promised. It's great dealing with a vendor that under promises and over delivers! I just purchased 2 more - thanks for the great service.

working good so fast copies and reads with problems
