Please let me know what you think. Never bought used drives before mostly shucked WD elements for the drives in the server but I hear you can't do that anymore since you get low end, smr drives or they straigt up prevent it nowand the deals on elements were not particularly good.
 
I typically buy a drive with a 5 year warranty. And I have bought refurbed ones as well.

I go to goharddrive.com to buy refurbed ones with that 5 year warranty. I have used their warranty before and it was very easy to do. And it was only one drive that failed over several dozen I have bought from them
