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".

Alternatively, you can tape or snip the pin with no special tools. I used a razor blade and blue painter's tape that worked for years until I snipped the pin later. Not a big deal. Google 3.3v pin mod or check this - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www...._page=true [google.com]
Does it matter if everything works..... No.
Do you want someone trying to open a helium drive that's welded shut..... Hell no.
Your complaints are ridiculous and tiring.
Dellrefurbished.com has a ton of Intel 8xxx series machines (Desktop, AIO, and Laptop) for sale and the current Intel Gen is 14xxx. That makes all of those machines 5-6 years old.
If you've actually ever bought laptops regularly from there, you'd know that FedEx often does the "refurbishing" and Dell doesn't even touch some of the machines. While they are mostly fine, every so often issues show up that indicate not much, if any, testing is going on. They are just slapping a sticker across the entire lid of the laptop to hide blemishes and then formatting with a fresh Windows install before shipping them out.
These drives are welded shut with helium inside (much like any 12+TB drive these days), exactly what kind of refurbishing do you expect? The less the better, considering virtually no third party is qualified to open these.

I bought 4 new 12tb drives from BBY (albeit 4 years ago), shucked them and now 2 of them have failed in 6mos. Might as well buy refurbs and save the money.
