Description:
Available is a matched lot of four (4) Seagate Constellation ES.3 4TB SATA enterprise-grade hard drives, totaling 16TB of raw capacity. These are the SATA 6Gb/s models, making them universally compatible with standard PC motherboards, NAS units, and external RAID enclosures (e.g., LaCie 4big Quadra).These units were pulled from a LaCie 4big Quadra USB 3.0 external enclosure and are in exceptional mechanical condition.
Key Technical Highlights:
Exceptional Mechanical Condition: All four drives have completed a full Unraid Preclear cycle (8+ hours of continuous write/verify stress) with zero reallocated sectors, zero pending sectors, and zero uncorrectable errors.
Rare Low Runtime: For 2014-manufacture enterprise drives, these feature extremely low Power-On Hours (POH), ranging from 3,443 to 3,813 hours (less than 160 days total).
Matched Firmware: All drives are running firmware CC44, which is critical for maintaining compatibility in professional hardware RAID arrays.
Thermal Health Disclosure:During the 8-hour preclear stress test, the drives were tested in two different environments. Two units remained at cool operating temperatures (40°C–41°C). The other two units were tested in a chassis with restricted airflow, which triggered historical S.M.A.R.T. thermal flags (54°C–56°C). These flags are purely a result of the testing environment's poor airflow; all units are mechanically pristine and passed every magnetic surface verification.
S.M.A.R.T. Summary (Lot Total):
Reallocated Sector Count: 0
Current Pending Sector: 0
Power-On Hours: <3,900 across all units
