I apologize in advanced as I know there are a lot related posts to buying refurbished/used hard drives for non critical data. On eBay, it seems you can get 16tb exos drives for around 160.00 or 10 per tb. They say refurbished with zero hours and the reseller (goharddrives) offers a 5 year warranty.

Where do these hard drives from? Do they really have zero hours as opposed to having smart data wiped? Is this a good deal?

I read another post being able to get used drives for around 5 dollars per tb.

What is your sweet spot and reliable ebay sellers you would buy from?

Thanks
