These are datacenter drives, they generally last longer than 5-6years (especially with home office and selfhosted server usage where usage is way way less). They just get replaced every 5-6 years because that's usually when they start upgrading systems AND the original manufacturers warranty runs out and datacenters don't like dealing with non-warrantied drives.
People generally buys 2 or more of these drives for redundancy to put in their own server or NAS at home. If you don't know what that means and just want to store your family photos or whatever, just buy new.
IMO brands don't really matter as much as it did 10-20 years ago but https://www.backblaze.c
SMART data definitely had been wiped by sellers/refurbishers.
$112 / 14TB = $8/TB
$79.99 / 12TB = $6.66/TB

OEMs know much better than backblaze or your fav reviewer what their drive lifetimes are and that is the main consideration when they set their warranty term. Think about that for a second - if you are buying a used drive older than the OEM warranty, you should expect that drive to fail at any time because that's what the OEM expects.
Once that's no longer a fact of contention, you can see how useless the "low cost per TB" of used drives really is as a metric for value.
There certainly is valid value in these drives, it's just sometimes I feel like they charging you half the cost of a new one is just too much. With the warranty that they give, it will be great if it was around 25% of a new cost...
Perfect use case. I would use these in a lab environment or backups of non critical data. Anyone who says these are as reliable and as safe as a brand new drive are smoking Hopium. You may get years of use out of one of these drives, or it may die in a day or two. Roll the dice but the data you risk is yours to gamble with.

What? At least try and make sense.
I said, in a lab environment is a good use and when working with non critical data... Are you trying to say you would risk you critical data on some refurbished hard drives. Good for you then if so, go with God lol.

If one of two drives dying causes you to lose critical data, you're doing RAID wrong.
As someone who has spent over 10 years working with servers and professional data centers, I find that amusing. It's your data, your money, your raid, godspeed to you, and your refurbished hdd endeavors.
