Just bought a renewed 16TB hdd from amazon for my home DAS. Have initialized the disk with windows 11, now I about to start the formatting.. should I just perform a quick format, or rather do a full format instead?

Which one should I do in order to get a more healthy/longer lifespan out of it? (especially its already renewed) Or does it worth doing it, as it takes longer time? And what should I do next after the formatting?
