Comment on how often do your 3rdparty "refurb" drives last?

I have a rather large array of refurbished 14TB WD HC530 drives and most are still going strong. Ive lost a couple over the last 3-4 years, but the fast majority are still going strong.
Since these are goHardDrive, I’m guessing they’re most likely Seagate or the white label Seagates (I think they’re called MD drives)? I have had terrible experience with Seagate, even when new. I pretty much exclusively buy WD or Toshiba because of that.

I mostly avoided seagate, but may have bought one for storage diversity. I’ll have to check if it’s Seagate in the morning.
