[zer0sum]

I haven't really kept up on sas drive prices, but I had to pick one up today and thought this might be a solid deal.

HGST HDD HUH721010AL42C0 10TB 3.5" SAS 12Gb/s Server Hard Disk Drive

I could very well be wrong, but hopefully someone wiser has some input
More than 10 available / 86 sold - let's see how long the rest last with the STH effect

I bought one from them a week ago for $64.89. Early 2018 manufacture, ~38K hours. No idea what's different with the 42C0 vs 4200 model designation but it is the exact same size as all my other HGST-branded 4200s.

42C0 is Cisco firmware, 4200 is standard HGST firmware. You can flash 42C0 to become 4200. Here is a post with the instructions: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/vcjrc9/_/icf2cd2

Fast order processing, as it's already shipped
Offset, by slow shipping speed as it won't get here until the 30th

Listing says 135 sold now...

I picked up a bunch... Love/hate with these forums as they make it so easy to burn money.

Do I need to reformat these to 512? Pn calls out 4k firmware. I have the 52/512e version already and want to add these.

Anyone using these things with over 100k hours? What % fail at that usage if you do?
