Most people who would invest in a large HDD know enough to have a backup battery set up. I know I do. This is also more theoretical than a frequent or likely scenario.
The point of an external desktop HDD is, you leave it on the desk. It's odd that you criticize it for risks associated with transporting it as though you think people would be carrying this thing around. Of course portable SSD is more suitable for that.
On a separate note, it says seller pays for return shipping, so this may be a risk-free deal. If you find anything wrong, return for free.
This is flat out false. Unless there is something wrong with your machine's cooling system, leaving it on for a week will not cause it to overheat. Many people leave their PCs on 24/7. Some argue that leaving them on continuously actually increases their lifespan, due to the lack of thermal cycling.

I picked up the WD 16TB My Book refurb from the last deal, and it was defective. I emailed them a couple of times to ask if it's possible to exchange it for a replacement drive, but never heard back, so I ended up returning it all together because it was getting close to the end of the return window.
I'll give this drive a try and hope for some better luck with a functional drive this time around.

Although price is good per TB, these things make me very hesitant to purchase.
