They're still great deals. You're getting the remaining useful life on a drive made to run for a long time at high data rates. And, you can buy double the disks vs new ones, so you can setup your backup even easier.

TLDR; avoid Seagate 12tb and 14tb. 16tb drives so far look very good (X18). No published data yet on X24.

My question for this would be - x24 drives are really new. How is it possible that x24 designated models are already being refurbed?

Different model. X20 only has 256mb cache compared to the 512 in OP. Unsure of other differences.
I bought 2 of the 12tb ones from this company. I've only used one so far. Looked new. Came in an anti static bag and was well packed. I'd like to get a couple of these 16tb drives as well but these deals pop up often.

When a refurbished drive has low hours it's because the SMART data got reset during the refurbishment process.
