  • Whew… I have 6 of the ST3000DM008-2DM166 in a RAID array. And to be honest, they were only so-so, so I’m not actually relieved that mine are newer/different. I had a couple of failures over the years. I started with 5.

    1. gone
    2. gone
    3. Still ok, >36k hours
    4. gone
    5. Now a hot spare, >36k hours, 8 Reallocated Sectors

    1 out of 5 is still in mainline operation, one is my hot spare.

    3 out of 5 failed and got sent back to Seagate for a refurb

    1 of my replacement drives had an “unexpected sense” that I guess corrected itself after a rebuild.

    4.1 years of operation

    I’m definitely not thrilled.
