I recently got a new Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD v7 SATA 12tb ST12000NM0127 that has date of manufacturing date of 30 Mar 2018 for 9000 EGP (178 USD) in Egypt. Does that mean the hard drive is refurbished and do i use it or should i try to sell it? I'm a little worried about the old manufacture date.

I'm using it to store video files and game installation files for my home pc.

what do you guys think?

P.S. that price has more TB/$ compared to other hard disks available to buy here

for example: Seagate Exos Enterprise 10 TB (model has NM01/d in it, I think, the image is not clear) date of manufacturing 28 Sep 2024 is 14000 EGP (277 USD)

and Western Digital Ultrastar 8TB HUS728T8TALE6L4 date of manufacturing 22 Sep 2024 is 12600 EGP (249 USD)

So, Could you please advise me on what to do?
