Used and fully tested. Partition table and filesystem signatures cleared; ready to format. Disconnected and stored after SMART testing.
Highlights from the SMART report (Aug 27, 2026):
- SMART overall health: PASSED, and a full extended self-test completed with no errors (at 23,996 power-on hours)
- 1 reallocated sector; 0 pending and 0 offline-uncorrectable sectors; 0 CRC errors; 0 command timeouts
- 24,004 power-on hours (~2.7 years) with only 32 power cycles
- Load/unload cycles: 89,731, about 30% of Seagate's 300,000-cycle rating
- Light workload: roughly 14.5 TB written and 0.23 TB read over its entire life, per SMART LBA counters (Seagate rates this model for 300 TB/year)
- Runs cool: 27°C, lifetime max 35°C
Used as a static data drive in a disk shelf and previously held only Chia plot files.
Disclosure: this drive has remapped one sector (Reallocated Sector Count = 1). There are no pending or uncorrectable sectors, the SMART error log is empty, and the extended self-test completed with no errors.
Seagate drives report Raw Read Error Rate, Seek Error Rate and Hardware ECC Recovered as large composite counters. This is normal for Seagate firmware; normalized values are well above failure thresholds. High Fly Writes shows a small historical count (17 events); it is a head fly-height counter, not a sector-defect counter. Full smartctl output is below.
Drive only: no cables, screws or retail box. Ships in an anti-static bag inside a rigid clamshell.
