Drives get stamp/marked Recertified , also gets a new label to what appeared to be from Seagate .
SMART data gets zero out..
They are louder than traditional drives.. worth the buy.. $10.50/ TB
Satisfaction Guarantee: Return for refund within 30 days of package reception date.
SO test the drive as soon as you get it..
I used the Seagate software that creates a bootable VM (tinycore) with the SeaTools GUI : Link

FWIW I've been running 12 of the 14TB models in my garage (105 - 32°F swing) for two years now with zero errors let alone drive failures. Maybe I'm lucky, maybe they're fine.

If its 24/7 you can either get a WD Purple, seagate and Crucial have drives designed for constant writes.
The best way to figure out your drive size needs, is to calculate how long it will take to fill up the drive and overwrite it with new recordings. For example, my 4x 4tb drives with 6 cameras 24/7 recording takes 35 days to fill up before overwriting.
Another more expensive used option for SSD is the Intel s4510 (which has 10 Petabytes of writes) that is designed to have 2500 overwrites for each drive. For my example above, this would take 250 years before drives start to fail. Of course they would never last that long but you get the idea. I buy used drives...i dont care if it only lasts 10 years. Thats all I need because by them I most likely will already have twice as many cameras or more and have bigger drives.
They last a long time
