Makes me shudder. I have to replace a drive in my array, because it is degraded. It's a 4TB. Imagine having to replace one of these. I'd much rather have a bunch of cheaper drives, even if they are a bit more expensive per TB, because the replacement cost will eventually make the total cost of ownership lower.

Also, repeat with me: "Please give me a Toshiba or Hitachi, please"

I think if I needed to store 36TB of data, I would rather get several smaller disks.

I don't think the target audience of this drive is buying one. They are trying to optimize for density and are probably buying in bulk rather than paying the $800 price tag.

What is the usecase for drives that large?

I 'only' have 12Tb drives and yet my zfs-pool already needs ~two weeks to scrub it all. With something like this it would literally not be done before the next scheduled scrub.

Is it worth replacing within a year only to be sent a refurbished when it dies?

Use redundancy. Don't be a pleb.
