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.

Seems like a real good sweet spot for price, reliability, and size.
no matter what warranty they put there.
no one would honor it when return period is gone

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

New models may have manufacturing issues and fail final testing at the factory
Infant mortality is much higher than mid term reliability
They might actually be honest and not sell finished goods that fail final test and get repaired as new.
This is a very small percentage of their total drive manufacturing and to the lay person may seem like a large quantity.
In the interest of simplifying that set up, what would be the most practical and effective way of buying 4 of these drives to have 32TB of storage?
