I bought six "white label" 6 TB drives from eBay a few weeks ago--at $160 each, I couldn't pass them up. Now I'm starting to think I should have. Two of them started showing hundreds of bad sectors (and one of those dropped offline completely) within the first 24 hours of testing, so I was able to RMA them with the vendor (they did pay return shipping, which was nice, but didn't do an advance exchange). While waiting for those replacements, two more drives started showing questionable results. Here's one:
...and here's the other:
Both have dozens of reallocated sectors, and I'm thinking they should be replaced. Am I being too picky?
