I expect the failure rate to be higher than on a brand new product, you’re just making the assumption that because it failed once (if it actually did, could simply be a disk that was returned after purchase) it will fail again as quickly, which is a pretty bad assessment.
Yes, though it’s not an assumption, it’s based on the reputation of Seagate making new drives that fail quickly. I’ve made a point of emphasising this.
Even if the drives were never used they’ve been shipped about a few places, so they will objectively not be as good as new drives, even movement is potential wear on spinning disks—the new drives that are already shit.
I’m really sorry, but I’m not really sure how I can spell this out clearer than I already have.
Oh you make spell it very clearly that you’re just making a bunch of assumptions and don’t understand what refurbished means or how mass production works, no need to worry.
For sure, but emphasising the Seagate reputation part:
Expecting the new disks to be good is a foolish thing to do,
Expecting the refurbished ones to somehow exceed that expectation is even more foolish
I don’t think anyone is expecting a refurbished disk to last longer and I don’t know why you’re trying to argue based on that…
Would you buy a disk expecting it to fail in less than a year?

No, I do, but never mind; let’s not waste each other’s time
Nope, you don’t :)
