July 19, 20196 yr Out of curiosity, anybody here used any of these Water Panther drives in an unraid setup, or even heard of them before? https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=Water+Panther Looking to replace my existing parity drive with a 12tb 7200rpm SAS drive, and was looking at what was available out there..
July 19, 20196 yr Never heard of them, also with no reviews I be a little weary.Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
July 20, 20196 yr According to their website, the drives are all from the big 3 OEMs (ie: Seagate, WD, ?)

July 20, 20196 yr Author So basically (according to their page), white label brand name drives. I'll probably just go with an Seagate Exos ST12000NM0007 instead. Just though with the price difference, someone here may have tried them out.
July 20, 20196 yr The kicker with companies like these is that so long as the specs on the drives match, they can sell you a drive from whatever manufacturer they choose Whether that is Seagate, Toshiba, or if you're really I lucky, WDSent from my NSA monitored device
July 23, 20196 yr Author That was what I was kind of worried about, not knowing who actually made them. Could be anybody really.
December 9, 20196 yr I bought one to find out. Got a Seagate. They are refurb sold as new. Stay away.
August 3, 20205 yr I bought few of their SSDs. They are refurbished but sold as new. The SMART table is cleared. They can't sell them under original brand as the reputable brand will track it down right away and they would risk a big legal trouble. That's why they sell under private label and much cheaper. The one I got were Toshiba beneath their label.
