Yes, I paid $100 for the DS923+ 10GBe NIC. Aside from that being a bit high (aftermarket 10GBe NIC for ESXi PC was just $70 or so), I'm very happy. Rock solid. DS423+ for Plex, DS923+ for ESXi environment. Both work great.
I use omv, trunas, unraid, synology. Look for upgrade problems from each.
I would recommend unraid for poor people starting out. You can use any size drives and able to spin up one drive at a time. Trunas spin up all drives anytime you write, and you need all the same size drive in a pool, and you have one time to set the pool. Use intel 11th gen or newer for video.
When buying synology, I would advise buying at least 4 bays for shr2. So when 1 died you and you need to replace, you would still have another parity. Do not buy one with atom cpu. There is an atom bug that kill your nas. I bought a ryzen synology and a n100 beelink to run plex server, emby server, and jellyfin server. I bought $20 onn 4k plug for TV (av1 decoder). I am still testing the onn, plex transcoding, stash, and see on the go watching.
Vs.
$290, new, 5 year warranty, via Seagate. (NewEgg)
I went with new.
At a 2-3% year over year failure rate it could work out in your favor...
Sanity check: they would be out of business if the cost of the warranty wasn't in their favor.
You'll notice that none of the people crap talking about refurbs or buying longer warranties ever refer to legitimate statistical data for the product or the industry.
what you see in these forums is a high amount of bias. not sure it's survivor bias since it's basically the opposite LOL
what test did you run before using it?
I'm asking bc i just bought two drives and wonder if i should be worried ..

This is one of the reasons why high reliability products for military. aerospace and medical applications are "burned in"
A (properly) repaired/refurbished item will generally (and statistically) have a higher reliability than new, assuming it is still within the tub portion of the bathtub lifetime reliability curve.
https://en.wikipedia.or
most electronics and electromechanical systems of any import or consumer use follow these curves
