Only real question is how is their RMA process? I've bought tons of refurb drives from GoHardDrive and affiliates if one dies they send a preprint label, I send the old one back and have a new (refurb) one in days. I don't mind refurb drives I've got many running 7+ years continuous (probably close to 80 drives) and had maybe 2 or 3 go during the entire period. They're more likely to be damaged in shipping, if they work. When they arrive they tend to last.

Looks like it's a rebadged Seagate Exos x16, so if that works you should be good.

All depends on how much you paid for it, is goHarddrive selling their 12tb for the same price? If these are 10 bucks or more then your point of return process argument is a wash. Especially if you only returned 1-3 outta 80+ in 7+ years, me saving 25-50+ bucks is the deal, 9 bucks or less USPS priority flat rate box is nothing if\when you acutally do have to return one.

This drive has a standard SATA interface and can be used on a home desktop PC just fine.

For $5 more you can get these from Amazon. It sounds like there may be some peace of mind for some people to have a more sound and simple return policy. But then again, it's Amazon. So, pick your evil, I suppose. Anyway, I got a couple from here on the 26th: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08K3SXQ5T
