Pros

  • A year ago from goharddrive I was able to get a 12tb Ironwolf with 3 years warranty for like $110.
  • I had a drive I purchased from them fail after over two years and expected the warranty process to be difficult. They sent a replacement very quickly, no questions asked, and covered return shipping. GoHardDrive is pretty reputable and h...
  • In both cases I had a drive that had some issues, however, the warranty service was great - no hassles. I've been happy with them and would use them again.
  • I have a mix of factory recertified seagate drives from goharddrive and SPD. ... I had to warranty one from goharddrive and it was quick and painless. Either company seems to be extremely solid.

Cons

  • This is fraud. ... I would blacklist this vendor on that basis alone.
  • Got 10 14TB drives from goharddrive, 2 developed bad sectors when running that test, swapped for fresh units and good to go.
  • Goharddrive and serverpartdeals are way more expensive than a year ago.
  • I had a very bad experience with them, out of 5 drives 3 were bad, after long battle with them and ebay, finally got a partial refund from ebay. After leaving a bad review the seller blocked me.
  • Full refund, sounds like a scam to me

I had a drive I purchased from them fail after over two years and expected the warranty process to be difficult. They sent a replacement very quickly, no questions asked, and covered return shipping. GoHardDrive is pretty reputable and have been for some time.

I bought 12tb of go hard drives eBay for $75 a couple of months before ltt did their video. Then it went up to 170+ almost $100 USD more.

Exactly a year ago, I was looking at drives for my NAS build from SPD (and many other sites like GoHardDrive) and the pricing was wildly different.

Until 2025-05-29, goHardDrive had a public, unsecured web form that published full details of any RMA. If you knew a valid GHD RMA number, you could view the order details and personal information of anyone who had returned a product to GHD since they created this RMA system.
