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

Go Hard Drive is especially bad. They take drives that already failed but currently pass tests, then clear SMART data.
I had a 133% failure rate (all 3 drives, plus the first replacement before I sent it all back). Their customer service at least is good. I had no problems getting refunded.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a used drive from random eBay sellers fail, and never prematurely.
