Starting a thread on this. They are another white labeling company, but seem to be far more... desirable (?) than GoHardDrive. Looks like their drives come with a 2 year warranty.
Purchased two 12TB SATA drives from them with Costco VISA (bumping warranty to 4 years).
Here is an exact link to the drives I bought Refurbished: WP Arsenal 12TB SATA 7200RPM 3.5-Inch DAS Hard Drive - Newegg.com
Here is their website Water Panther Server Drives
Here are what the drives look like:
These physically look like Seagate EXOS X12 drives. The description on their site says they are not NAS drives, but they also look like IronWolf drives. If anyone can confirm one way or the other (maybe you have EXOS 12 or IronWolf to compare to?), let me know! If that regulatory mark (STL004) is accurate, this would confirm EXOS X12 or "Seagate Enterprise Capacity HDD v7".
I'm running badblocks on both of them now to validate health before using as a manual replication of some of my zfs datasets.
The real downside is no serial number in SMART data (all 0s), but the WWN listed in the SMART data does in fact match what is printed on the drive for identification purposes.
I'll post more information later (if it passed badblocks, what benchmarks look like, etc)
