I had similar issues, raid 1 on two hdd and the server would randomly reboot and be slow because it was resyncing the raid. Have to pay extra to get new refurbished drives.

It’s great for throwaway machines, e.g. CI. But don’t rely on them

In Hetzner's defence, it happened twice on RAID 1 setups on one of our servers, and after dropping a ticket basically saying "look, this is the second time, can you give us a drive that isn't a dinosaur please" they did put a brand new one in.

These days I'd take their ampere VPS servers over the dedicated ones though, the performance and reliability is way better (mostly just due to it being brand new hardware).
