I've been debating between a 2-bay NAS in RAID 1 (cheaper, but ineffecient) or a 4-bay in RAID 5. 3TB of usable storage might be enough for me right now. Hmmm....

Exactly. So my question is should a refurb be worth that much, that the difference is only $15. Or are Seagates that bad?

Why didn't you ask that in the first place. Right now no one knows who's drives are the best with the post-flood drives still just hitting the market.

for amex it does, but only an extra length of the refurb warranty. So like 90 days + 90 days or so.

You could buy it with an AMEX card that has warranty extension as a benefit. That could net you another years warranty.
