Highest-health drives ship first.

Burn-in passed on every drive. We wrote the entire drive, read every block back and verified it by checksum, then ran a mixed random read/write load. Zero errors. Read-back ran at 544 to 546 MB/s.

For full disclosure: drive ...71CE shows 2 old interface CRC errors from cabling in a previous machine; they did not move during our test.

The SMART report for the drive you receive is available on request. Data has been wiped. Sold as tested working pulls. No-returns listing; Money Back Guarantee still applies to items not as described, so what is written here is what ships.

Four in stock. You will receive one drive. Drive only.
