SEAGATE CONSTELLATION ES.3 ST4000NM0043 4TB 7200 RPM SAS 3.5-INCH
ENTERPRISE HARD DRIVE - 27 REMAPPED SECTORS, DISCLOSEDREAD THIS FIRST
This drive has 27 grown defects - sectors the drive has retired and
replaced with spares. They were already on the drive when we received it.
It is priced for that. During our complete write of every sector the count
did not move.WHAT THE SMART DATA ACTUALLY SAYSSerial Z1Z4JZYN0000W448EGL6
Power-on hours: 13733
Grown defect list: 27 (27 before our wipe, 27 after)

no verify counter)
SMART health: OK
Firmware: 0004
Sector size: 512 bytes
Start/stop cycles: 217
Encryption: self-encrypting capable; not enabled, not lockedABOUT THE 27 REMAPPED SECTORS
A remapped sector is not lost data - the drive moved that location to a
spare and carries on. What matters is whether the count keeps climbing.
A full write of the entire surface is the hardest test we can give it,
and this drive finished that test with the same 27 it started with.HONEST ASSESSMENT
A used enterprise drive with a disclosed, stable defect count. Reasonable
for a lab, scratch space, or a redundant array where you monitor SMART.
Not for the only copy of anything important. Check the grown defect count
yourself on arrival - it should read 27.INTERFACE NOTE
This is a SAS drive. It will NOT work in a SATA port. You need a SAS
controller or backplane.DATA SANITIZATION
Every logical block was overwritten with zeros, running until the drive
itself reported end-of-media. We then read back the start, middle and end
and confirmed all three contained zero non-zero bytes. The per-drive log
records RESULT: WIPE VERIFIED OK. It arrives fully zeroed with no partition
table.WHAT YOU GET
