It's A Digital Disease!

Just bought one of these on amazon and I was wondering if anyone has ever bought one of them before and knows anything about them. They are sold as "Refurbished Excellent" and reviewers mentioned they had plenty of power-on hours, but I figured that wouldn't matter since these are HelioSeal and so they have an insanely long lifespan. Just wondering if anybody knows what the average amount of hours they send these things with are. I'll get around to SMART testing is when it gets here but I just wanna make sure I didn’t get scammed. 12TB for $130 caught my eye but you never know sometimes you get what you pay for
