Fun fact: an 18 year old US male has a MTBF of about 8,000,000 hours.
These are facts. My statement was a fact. The link I provided was a fact. I implied nothing, you assumed! But if 1.2 million hour life expectancy is the norm for a typical PC drive, then these server drives with a 2.5 million hour life expectancy is a bigger number better scenario! Again, this is a statement, it is a fact, do not assume I mean to say anything other than what is specifically written in-front of you. To fully understand that life expectancy rating, see link below:

the idea of buying a hard drive that is a refurb is scary , and my trust in Seagate is scary as I had a failure both home and work on Seagates
unfortunately my current backup drive is a Seagate, not sure what I was thinking, guess I got lured into the SD effect - hence I am looking for a good deal on a WD as I need a larger size

It doesn't matter what you do, the thing, the hard drive, it's gonna break! When is only a matter of time!
SSD, SDXC, HDD, NNNNNNNNNNOISE...... It all dies a slowly over time

The key things I look for is a box like this are individual drive power switches with fans for cooling and no RAID. There is no reason to light up every drive when the thing you want only lives on one of them. And cooling is important, HDD's shouldn't really run much above 100*f or 40*c as it can shorten their lifespan, much like anything else I guess. And RAID, don't pay for something you won't use, unless you are going to use it, then it's good for backing up your archive. But this can get out of hand real quick. I'd need over 200TB to back up just what I have at this moment, it's not exactly feasible.
If you don't like the tower look, this below is also a good option that ticks all my boxes plus it can be daisy chained to grow with your needs:

Networking is another potential concern. But if you have a modern router, then you could easily just plug your storage box into that to feed anything in your home or elsewhere. Otherwise, you might want to consider a NAS or something with that built in capability. But most of us are probably more interested in a DAS like the two links above.
2nd and 3rd orders had problems with initializing my drives, and smart errors! Was terrible experience for me, and decided not to buy from them.
I have had good experience with ServerPartsDeals with 14TB WD enterprize Manufacture Refurbs, every drive initialized and smart was good...I bought 10 drives from them.
The two I have from serverpartdeals are fine. I guess the same thing could've happened with them, but this is a bad first impression from go hard drive.
