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

Buy on price and what fits your situation (noise/speed/etc). You don't like it.... move along.

Also, I see that MSRP for these are at like $299.99 or something on Amazon. Is it worth trying to pick these up for near $100 off? I've heard mixed things about Seagate over the years, so I don't know how much more help it'd be to get it "new" from Amazon, but if I remember right, they're not an all-bad company... they had some pretty bad lines of drives, but again, if I remember right, Backblaze has some of their drives as a recommendation for reliability...

Thanks for the reviews and all the (mostly) useful info.
So just as people posted, back up is critical for data but seems stupid to save a few bucks at the start to end up paying more to get a replacement.
The ones I had were the Barracuda and Ironwolf. mabye the exos are better, not sure. But anyone I come across, I let them know that Seagate is riskier than other drives. Could be just my luck but if ONLY seagates have failed on me, it's hard to defend it.
