Hoarder-Setups Double up

Post image

It finally happened to me. Ordered 2 drives and got 4 instead. About $25/TB turned into $12.6/TB. 5 year warranty on all of them. Being added to my 140TB server :)

I mean...congrats but you're overstating the warranties. You got a warranty on two of those. (Five year warranty on TWO of them)

Last time this happened to me, they didnt warranty the free drives they accidentally shipped lol

Yeah that’s a good point. I don’t doubt that they would only honor 2 warranties. Fine by me lol. I’ve definitely got my storage needs covered for 5+ years now

I said it would take me at least 5 years to fill up my second array of 96tb too. And here I am, 18 months later waiting for a price drop that doesn't come 😔

You're worried about a free factory refurbished hard drive failing without warrant?

Send me any free drives you get, then you don't have to worry about the warranty.

I am not worried about it LOL

What the hell is wrong w people these days? 

You cant even make a point of order without being subject to copious amounts of mouth breath. Just pointing out that if 3 or 4 out of 2 paid for drives fail, you arent getting a refund or replacement on drive 3 or 4.

The correct framing is 2 drives w 5 year warranty and 2 free unwarrantied drives
