From 2016 and no word on usage stats, I guess it's a bit of a gamble?
Edit: I guess free returns == send it back if it sucks

.Like every purchase on ebay but I very rarely had bad surprises when receiving the drives. Low health drives are usually disclosed as such.From 2016 and no word on usage stats, I guess it's a bit of a gamble?

Oracle Drive, ZERO Firmware Update Possibilities. I'll pass
Total noob, but would a firmware update be necessary?Oracle Drive, ZERO Firmware Update Possibilities. I'll pass
At face value these seem perfect for the proxmox cluster I need drives for.
Unless it fixes a bug that would otherwise brick/corrupt the Drive, probably not. You could ask the Seller if he knows the current Firmware Version & get a SMART /
smartctl Output to confirm that (as well as providing some Clues about how much % Lifetime it has left).Just something to keep in Mind ...
I have 2 different firmwares for this. IR3Q and YR3Q. Every version I've bought of the Oracle f320, has either of them. I have never updated the firmware because of this. The drives has been great, except from the heat.
Slow? These do 5GB/s for reads, 500k iops, and they have great endurance with 5 DWPD. They have 2 big drawbacks, and that is they get hot because of high power consumption and lack of support for namespaces.
How hot it could be if I am using only for storing files and syncing with gdrive?
Mine is 55 C in a datacenter in a Supermicro 826 chassis storing files and periodically rsyncing Almalinux & Epel RPM repos
Thanks, that is really helpful to me, I guess in my situation I wont be worried about the temp much since I am using it in my itx case with a bunch of fans.
