Deals on high capacity hard drives have been fewer off late. The last good deal was for 12TB drives and that was a month ago. Prices for all the 16TB to 20TB capacity drives have somehow crept up.
Of course, thanksgiving is around the corner so people might be waiting for that. If the recent Amazon day prices are any indication you should be able to get a new 16TB NAS drive for $250. The hope is for a $200 price but who is to say that will happen. Like I said, hard drive prices have been high.
If you need NAS drives, and have already done research on the refurbished route, this is a good price. It's close enough to the historic low, and you might be waiting for a month or more for the next deal to come around.

No one has a crystal ball, but if I had to predict based on recent HD prices and sales, I don't expect anything spectacular on Black Friday. If something great pops up, I'll think about returning these. But if the best BF deal is going to be a 16TB new for $250, I'll just keep these. Granted that's new vs refurbished; but savings across 5 drives add up.

These drives are reliable.

And regarding these not being enterprise drives, they are supposedly much closer to enterprise drives than the regular ones. Within the Ironwolf Pro label, Seagate has two types of drives - those with 1.2 million hours MTBF, and those with 2.5 million hours MTBF. These drives match their Exos enterprise line in 2.5 million hour MTBF. Of course, MTBF values should be taken with a grain of salt, but they do provide some sort of comparative statistic to gauge reliability.
The other point worth considering is that the Seagate Exos enterprise line are known to be extremely loud. For home NAS use, these Ironwolf Pro's are often suggested to be the better buy due to lower noise (i.e. as long as you get the 2.5 million hour MTBF ones, which these are). Now if there were good deals on Exo's I might have bought them just the same (or any other brand for that matter 😀). It just so happens that deals on high capacity hard drives have been few of late!
