Just to get the rest of the nonsense out of the way :
1) Yes, it's a lot of data to potentially lose so don't be a moron and DO have a backup strategy if it's data you care about.
2) These drives potentially support PWDIS so make sure you do the 3.3v mod and tape or snip the pin if you have a drive that supports PWDIS but a PSU that doesn't. You can also use a Molex to SATA adapter, but use the crimped ones and not the molded ones since the molded ones can burn up.
3) Yes, they don't ACTUALLY refurbish the drive. Do you know how many places are equipped with a clean room to take apart drives and do actual refurbishing? I don't, but I do know that I don't want some random third party opening my HDD before they sell it to me. Slapping a sticker on it, doing a format or secure erase, and even blanking SMART is about all the refurbishing I require on an HDD. Or a PC for that matter.
4) Yes, these drives have a good number of hours on them. Yes, enterprise drive MTBF numbers are insanely high but don't necessarily guarantee a long life. Lots of hours doesn't necessarily mean a shorter lifespan either. If you can't handle that and would rather pay retail..... bye.
5) Yeo, these CAN be louder than normal drives. But honestly, the helium drives from WD have been no louder than most non-enterprise air drives I've dealt with in the past. Your enclosure, mounting strategy, closeness to the enclosure, and personal hearing ability are all variables we can't know. FWIW, I don't think these drives are "loud".

Now my personal experience w these is I have never ever had one fail (light use over a year when a buddy and I got a handful for some basic media archival). And if you only turn them on for periodic backup and not on 24/7 like in a NAS... Dont even spend the brain juice. Just buy them if you need it.

Tested them all (full random write/read, extended SMART tests) and only one failed a read test. I'm returning it and replacing it with one from this sale. All averaged somewhere in the 3 year mark of run time.

Unless the data is expendable, you'll still need a backup. The above is merely for continuity and convenience, nothing more.
Raid of any sort does not equal backup.
No doubt a few folks around here learned that the hard way.
