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

The problem is all of the people who bought one in 2022 who already had to toss it in 2023
I want to mention that SPD packages the hard drives very well. Something I can't say about a lot of the other vendors out there.

These refurb generally have had their control boards replaced, the platters in the sealed case and motor aren't touched and are exactly the same as a brand new one. These are enterprise HDDs that companies are buying and using by the thousands. For the price, configure an array that can handle two simultaneous drive failures and you'll be fine.
Trusting a single drive of this size as the only copy of your data from any manufacturer is just asking for data loss.

there are no 20TB drives here, but still worth reading

The Reddit DataHoarders subreddit vouches for them, I've been using a couple of drives for a month or two, and I'm running SHR2 (kind of like RAID-6), so even if I have failure or two and get it replaced under warranty, no big deal. I did order them individually to try getting different lots, just in case. (slowly replacing all 5 drives)
