The typical price is $225-229 on the website. You also get an extra year of warranty. I've been watching these for weeks

Yeah I emailed them to ask about it, apparently once they went above a certain threshold, they had to do that. I asked for an extra promo code since they had just started charging them a couple of days before but got turned down lol

The X22 came out In 2022 so... I doubt it
Why would they pull these out of servers just over a year after they were manufactured? Preventatively because SMART data indicated possible weaknesses? Do they then wipe this SMART data to resell, so the unsuspecting buyer cannot check how many hours of runtime they have, or other issues? Questions worth asking.

20TB is a lot of data to lose, so if you buy, at least make sure to run in redundant configurations only.

The seller is pretty active on Reddit and lots of people on there seem to trust them.

Re: wiping SMART, apparently they don't but occasionally the manufacturer does.
either way, yes to redundancy but I doubt they would offer a two year warranty on potentially flawed products.

are these drives super noisy? I know enterprise commercial drives are built for many cycles but I'd rather not have the clicking of the drive rattle my entire computer
If the drive cage doesn't have good vibration dampening, it will definitely rattle your machine. Even if it does, it will still probably be pretty audible.

Whatever you do, do not put these in a raid5 or raid6 or raidz1 or raidz2 (in truenas). Only mirror / raid 1 / 10

Couldn't find anything definitive searching online. I don't think they are super loud. See this quote about this deal in serve the home.
"how loud are these drives? Do they run hot? I have some old WD red 8TB and thinking or replacing them but dont want loud clicking drives.
I did hear clicking noises when the server was booting up but after that it was normal. This was true for my older WD 14TB drives as well. I hear the sound of fans from my servers more than the hard drives. They are not running hot as well. I am replacing a 14TB WD disk with one of these right now"

I'm assuming they're saying you should anticipate more than one drive failing. Personally, I'll be running 6 of these in raid 5 and won't think twice about it. They won't be holding mission critical data.
