You might get lucky, just understand they have 999 in stock, always 999 in stock. They are 3rd party vendor on Amazon too.
They could be "cool" but it gets hard to tell if it is shill or not.
I thought about buying from them, but I slept on it a few days, and I just get got bad feeling about it.
If I was in this business, I would try to have people come to SlickDeals to promote my stuff and throw some money or "free drives" if they increase business.
Since these all get "reset" to show clean smart stats , problems may not show up until you get to the 19tb portion of drive, and then disk crashes.
Data miners, and big companies have thousands of these drives, and they under constant hard work 24/7. And when they go bad, send them to WD or Seagate under warrenty. We have NO IDEA about any of these drives, all data/smart stats are scrubbed. If it said "this drive has 250,000 hours and was used for data mining, would you buy it?

I ordered 6 drives. So far 5 have been working fine. 1 drive has died and now makes the clicking sound of death. I've contacted the seller for RMA, we'll see how it goes.
Notes:
1. None of my drives are warrantied by Seagate, including the drive that has died. (see attached screenshot)
2. The SMART data has indeed been wiped. Synology DSM reported 0 hours for all drives.
For such a low price, I expected that eventually a drive will fail, though suspicious that it died so quickly. The key will be how quickly and efficiently the seller honors their "warranty", as well as how quickly I can get a replacement drive in my hands.

Thx for the info. Please post how the replacement goes.
January 11 (Wednesday) - they email back with an RMA number.
January 11 (Wednesday) - I drop off the hard drive at a FedEx. ~$18 to ship from SoCal to FL. Unfortunately the seller does not cover return shipping, as it has been beyond 30 days since I bought the drive.
January 16 (Monday) - FedEx marks the package as delivered.
January 17 (Tuesday) - they email me a UPS tracking number for the replacement. Same 2-day air shipping as if I ordered another drive from them.
January 19 (Thursday) - I receive the drive and start testing. 18TB extended test usually takes ~24 hours. I also noticed that the drive is dated 2022-11-22, which is super recent, compared to the rest of the drives which are 2020-09-13.
January 20 (Friday) - replacement drive passes both short and extended tests. Ready to resilver!
Downtime of ~9 days seems not bad. Maybe it'd be nice if they sent me a replacement drive ahead of time instead of waiting to receive and confirm my dead drive. Seller seemed responsive, and the new drive is working well so far. I would recommend and buy again. I don't see any reason to buy new when cheap drives like these exist.
