All drives are a gamble, 2 is 1, but at refurb prices you can get 2 for the price of one new one.

I'm brand agnostic, but Seagate as a brand has far greater rate of failure vs WD.

He's not wrong unless you hate Seagate for some reason. 2TB is worth $10 IMO.

Warranty? Do refurb HDDs last? Is it a gamble?

I don't think it's a gamble, but you have to understand your usecase. These server drives have a lot of miles on them. If you're putting them into your NAS that runs continuously, that will greatly shorten their lives. I have multiple synology and drobo devices that spin up and down only as I access them, so they'll probably last a really long time for me.

I plan to put them in desktop running Blue Iris for CCTV cams. It wont be the main HDD as I am using a WD Purple but its only 4TB. I want to use the Ultrastar as a backup, where I move the WD Purple content aftet the drive fills. Good idea to get the Ultrastar given my use case? I figure its cheaper than getting another WD Purple just to backup. About how much "mileage" does a drive like the WD Ultrastar have in hours and writes? If I run HD Sentinel on it will it show the drive is basically junk?

It's all just a roll of the dice. I have 4 refurb drives in my server. 1 died within a month. But I've also had new drives fail.

the only thing that holds me back is I've read these are loud. but the price is too good.. I may give it a shot on purchasing 1 drive and see how it fairs with the noise.

I for one love these refurb drives from GOHARDDRIVE on newegg. I bought 14 of them and had health checks all work out and exchanged the one that didn't. Easy peasy. And each drive had only 4yr avg power up time on them with 50ish power cycles. Very happy with that statistic as I know exactly how they were all run. THese old HGST helium drives are what I use now -- relabeled WD GOLD when I buy new but I can't be happier with these as now they match the age of my other "new" drives -- lol. Anyhow, using stablebit software, it's easy to keep them up and duplicating for my needs. again, couldn't be happier.

Your first question answers the second two.

I bought just bought 5x12 TB refurb drives from goHardDrive. They had a 3 year warranty. goHardDrive also has drives with a 5 year warranty. We just need to clarity for what the warranty is for this particular listing.

As many will tell you, if your data is important then you need to have backups. Ideally 2 backups, which means 3 copies of your data in total. And ideally have one of them offsite. These basics help prevent from more than drive failure. They protect from things like disasters (fire, flood, etc), ransomware, and human error.

Purchasing refurb drives can make it much more viable to purchase more drives. More drives used strategically greatly reduces your chances of losing data.
