Just picked up a couple of 900GB Netapp 2.5GB SAS 10k HD's from eBay. Both are the same. Could they have been sitting in a chassis powered up for 6 years doing nothing?

hot spare?

Sounds like there were hot spares. The arrays i work with have a pool of drives set aside for hot spares, so technicians make fewer trips to replace drives.

Sounds like that's most likely the case. Thanks.
