You can easily shelve a mechanical drive for 10 years and still retrieve data from it. Whereas, a never powered SSD will likely have data retention issues well before that.
As for how much storage someone needs, consider incremental backups from multiple systems or backups of physical discs.
The average 4K BluRay is between 50-100GB to backup without conversion, for example. It adds up quick if you're a data hoarder.
However, a backup isn't a backup without some redundancy of its own. So if you're going to use a 14TB drive for backups, you should have at least that somewhere else as a secondary backup.

Games could be a little slow to load, but it should be fine beyond the loading screens. Until recently I was running them from a traditional hard drive like this and never ran into any issues.
Most people don't need 14TB or anywhere close to that. Depending on your circumstances, you might be better off buying a 2TB (or whatever) SSD or NVME drive instead.

It's far less labor intensive and requires fewer tools to put a new board in than try to diagnose something like a cold solder joint.
With that said, they could still be refurbishing the boards separately. That would be all the more reason to zero out the SMART, rather than slap it on another drive with incorrect data.

Not 100% perfect, but way more than the average person has going on.

Got drives that claimed 0 hours, but could clearly tell they had been installed before. One even had a stripped screw hole. I guess in theory they could've never been used... yeah right...
I started researching the seller... found they sell on EBay under multiple accounts. All kinds of bad reviews...
After pressing them a bit on EBay, they ended up refunding me about half my money on the purchases.
About 3 years later, drives are fine.
