I have 8x10TB HGST drives from Ebay that I bought for the server - all in good shape according to SMART Data. And all with Spring Summer 2016 Dates on them so ijust though i'd check warranty if there was any. And i keep getting Invalid Serial, I checked the numbers several times to make sure i wasn't putting in wrong and i've tried different drives/numbers. Any thoughts? even if they are pulls like from Netapps or something shouldn't there be a record?

Ironic you bring this up as I posted about this last night in this deal thread: BRAND NEW HGST 4TB SAS HUS726040ALS214 for under $70 ($55 for qty >= 10)
I ran the serial in the ebay listing through the HGST Verify Waranty Eligbility site and it returned a warranty status of "Please return drive to the point of purchase or system manufacturer."
Those are NetApp drives so that response makes sense. Provided those non HGST warrantied drives show up, I would think any HGST drive would, but I don't have the experience to assert that with a high degree of confidence. I can say I've ran dozens of retail HGST HDDs through that site over the years and never received the invalid serial reply you are referring to. I always have an issue entering the darn captcha correctly though.
I'm in the market for large HDDs at the moment. Can I ask what you paid / from whom?
