I bought 4 of these back in August for $165 and they have been rock solid. Delivery was super fast and the drives were nicely packaged and sealed in antistatic bags.
They have been chugging away in my QNAP 24x7. Also a big plus was no tax for me
Image of how the drives were shipped:

I just bought 25 18TB x18 recerts packaging is better than any vendor out there selling drives. They also test the drives before shipping.

I have over 2PiB in my home with chia farming. I do have a mixture of wd reds but still think wd reds are less prone to throw smart errors. You will know a drive is bad once you write to it. I will chose these any day over a new wd red or plus drive that is 50 to 100 dollars more that are new.
2 year warranty is awesome and they are reputable unlike New egg and some other 3rd party seller. Also i did write customer service yesterday and they may have a black Friday sale. So I would wait until Friday afternoon or even Monday because this is a normal everyday price.

Also no tax outside Florida and free 2 day shipping. They spend alot of money double boxing and have special foam inserts for the hdds. Top notch!!!!

keep in mind I run over 200 drives and believe it or not ordering a new drive shipped in a plastic amazon bag is just plain bad , even if it is with the retail box jnside. this could be the reason why I have had some with bad sectors eventually or issues with health of the drive after 2 years . I do get smart errors with wdc also but not to the point where it is out of spec. I have had 3 cmr drives now go bad from seagate and none from wdc yet. probably because the ones with smart errors just need to be written too more. but chances are you all won't run into the same issues as me since I run a few hundred drives using enterprise server cases
Originally bought this off Amazon for $150+tax. Cancelled it and got this and got charged no tax. Thanks

The 14TB X18 is the same price ($134.99) as this X16 drive, both mfr. certified. Wouldn't the X18 be the better choice?

You'll find all kinds of schools of thought on this, ranging from "scan each sector 3 times" to "just check the SMART status and throw it into service." I decided to run a full "Erase" scan on the drive with HDDScan, which apparently writes known data (zeroes?) to each sector and then checks how long it takes to read it back from that sector. Nothing showed a concerning time, so I decided that was sufficient for my needs (though I suppose for thoroughness multiple passes would have built confidence). I'm using the drive mainly as a supplemental backup and semi-cold storage drive, so I'm not storing anything critical on it; the sector scan was just to be sure it didn't show any behavior that warranted an RMA before I started using it.

I will be storing my various medias on them so wanted to make sure they are reliable considering they are refurbished. Thanks for response.

Can these go directly into a synology ds920+ without taping any pins or other mods?

The exos 14tb models…

Just curious why you didn't buy the 14Tb X18 drives which are the same price?

It's your choice. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but it certainly shows you don't know much about hard drives.

i bought a WD Black portable game drive brand new. It lasted about a year and started to corrupt data. Then it just stopped working alltogether. Lost a bit of data. Had backups but not realtime.

From my experience, the original quality of the drive matters more than it's age, as long as its not heavily used obviously.
