I feel like every time these goharddrive/serverpartdeals deals get posted these need to be mentioned since there will always be people arguing about buying used hard drives, 5 years of usage, "SMART data seems sus", etc...

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.com/blog/ba...-for-2023/
SMART data definitely had been wiped by sellers/refurbishers.
The 12TB drive - when on sale - was a much better price per TB. if 12TB is sufficient storage for you, I'd wait for the $79.99 sale to come back, which happens more frequently.

$112 / 14TB = $8/TB
$79.99 / 12TB = $6.66/TB
For me: If these can run 24/7 for 3+ years. I am good with that. I already have 9 of these and so far, no problems. Maybe I can squeeze another one in.

Yep. These drives are probably more than half way through their typical life.

I have 1 of these purchased through this vendor. It had 39 months of run time on it.

You never know what you'll get when you order used enterprise drives. But I was happy with what I got. It's quiet and way faster than the drive it replaced.

actually enterprise drives are built better and made to be on 24/7. i have some drives that are over 10 years young and still going strong. only reason i needed to take them out of service is because of the size. i would pick a used enterprise drive over a used hard drive any day of the week.

I think the 5 year warranty is well worth the extra $7, they have replaced 2 of my failed drives, no questions asked after 3 years.

Just an FYI, I have two of these WD's and had to use kapton tape on each of them. Didn't have to for the Seagates that I have.
