They have been chugging away in my QNAP 24x7. Also a big plus was no tax for me

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

It's not really a roll of the dice. Seagate recertified them and these drives aren't super old anyway… It's the same roll of the dice shucking the WD elements, considering it's a consumer device designed for minimal use. If you do get a bad one the seller will replace. And 2 year warranty from them.
