And stop asking what I need that storage for. It was a very sad day when my boat capsized with all of my 4K BluRay movies and Linux distro aboard. Total loss... I need a hug.
The 14's from goharddrive have NOT had the SMART data reset so you actually know the number of hours of use and whether or not there are any SMART errors. When the SMART data has been reset like most of these from ServerPartDeals, you really know nothing about the drive. Fortunately, both places allow returns and I suspect there is no real difference between one vendor and the other.
edit, the WD are out of stock at goharddrive, Toshiba still available.

Any advice where to start would be much appreciated.
These are enterprise drives and made for raid.
No one cares to have a complete backup anymore since all the data can be re-downloaded and raid with parity if used and setup correctly will never be an issue for 98% of users out there. No one here in slick deals cares what a backup is since most real business or users with small amounts of data use cloud storage.
This deal blows away any retail drive and if you buy multiple quantities one could run raid and save hundreds of dollars. Will be building a true nas server soon with 3 vdevs and 2 parity disks. 24 disks total. The odds of me losing more than 2 disks outs of a 8 disk vdev is slim to none .
The only way your statement is true is because someone did it wrong and or were inexperienced.

I stream using a nvidia shield . OLED 65" C1 and atmos setup. Buy a consumer or enterprise mobo should give you 24 disks and 6 sata on the mobo with m.2. . No need to buy a gpu since a intel onboard video is enough to stream 4k remux. Also consider getting a UPS as anyone on here should realize this is the most common cause of data corruption or loss of a disk . Power surges , power outages etc. You want a graceful shutdown .
X16 or lower are previous revisions and I do own a few 20TB X20 and these are amazing
As the Temps are alot lower which is what you want when running multiple disks.
I try to keep all my hdds 35 to 45c
Anything above 50c idle could cause a early death no matter what drive or brand you own.

once i get the drive, if the scan finds blocks/etc errors, i RMA the item and in return gets another refurbished drive.
if i don't scan the drive, and a year from now, the drive fails and i do a warranty replacement, i get another refurbished drive.
so what's the point of scanning the drive initially?
i can understand for a new drive, the RMA would/should be another new drive.
I'm new to NAS and don't have much knowledge on these specifications.
Long test, about a day. Run the short first, it is pretty quick, may discover a dud right there.
But run the long test after it within the free return shipping window.
I am now several month of usage into these SPD drvies and no issues at all.
