anyone else buying multiple recerts blows away your deal
The other died within 24 hours.Cmr...
All my 100+ drives are at 100% health and even the recerts
no one should care about blackblaz as a home user
we aren't running cloud servers pulling 550TB a day read and writes
2) if it a model that has a high failure rate in a datacenter , then it's closer to death
I want my drive to be as far away from death as absolutely possible, even if it costs $150 more
So yes i do care about backblaze as a home user.

I'd use the money to buy another recert than have to deal with wd or seagate warranty.
The seller here gives a 2 year warranty and no tax . Running 2 disk parity is better than running any hdd by itself no matter how good you think it is
Assuming you back things up properly, Exos may still be worth it. I switched from Ultrastars to Exos because they've cost so much less that it seems unlikely Ultrastar reliability could ever make up the difference, even after any required replacements (in a large enough drive population). I could be wrong and will be looking for deals on Ultrastars from now on as well.
Maybe it's bad strategy (or maybe it's good strategy..), but I run a mixture of drive brands/series, based on what's on sale at the time. As long as they're in the same class of product and drive speed. I have a few WD red Pros, one WD Datacenter HC, and two Seagate Exos drives.

Your advice would be more useful if you clarify what your assumptions and illustrating the pros and cons. Then even people who don't have the same needs could benefit from the parts of your advice that make sense to them.

If i have the choice,
I'll take a new drive, not a used one that's therefore closer to death..and I'll take a drive with .2% failure over one with 4.42% failure .
For $100 more.
