The price/gig is good, but I am concerned if the warranty is so short. I might prefer to get from GoHardDrive for the longer warranty.

$330 @ Seagate [seagate.com]
$340 @ BestBuy [bestbuy.com]
$296 @ Seagate [seagate.com] w/ 10% sign up discount (it's a popup window that shows up when you go to the link above... if it doesn't show up, just go to the link in another browser/private/incognito).

However, your Seagate.com link goes to a page for a 24TB hard drive (which is the max capacity on that page). Did you mean to link to this page with the 28TB version option instead? https://www.seagate.com/products/...TKP6000400
or maybe here might work better since Seagate seems to not want to link directly to the 28tb drive

As for GoHardDrive and other "refurbished" sellers, I'd rather pay a bit extra for brand-new WD Red Pros than opt for well-used drives that have been consistently stressed/abused in a data center.
WD's 6-year warranty offering during their current two 24TB Red Pro sale [westerndigital.com] is remarkable IMO. If I'm going to spend a signficant large amount of cash, having a rock-solid guarantee from a reputable $15B company that I trust and has proven reliable is much more preferable to dealing with businesses that procure large quantities of heavily used drives and performs only limited testing. I also think calling used drives "refurbished" is a bit of a stretch or exaggeration because all they are doing is resetting the SMART stats and performing basic power-on and read/write confirmation.

If these are indeed Barracudas, like all the previous 20TB+ external offerings, I wouldn't trust them with important data due to Barracuda's infamous reputation for poor reliability and longevity. The 1-year warranty is a pretty clear indication of that, IMO.
However, these should be fine for storing and streaming easily procurable and replaceable video content—things like Cop Rock and Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Not to mention the diabolical RAID unworthy Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp!

That does not show any SMR larger than 8 TB.

Some people (IE pasta hating, stripper denying, pirate adverse folk), think retail media is worth backing up via expensive RAID arrays or whatchamacallits. If you're one of those paranoid types who absolutely must have My Mother the Car available 24/7 without downtime, then these Seagate externals are not for you, given the measly 1-year warranty and Barracuda drives' horrendous (and IMO, well-deserved) reputation.
