Note that these "refurbished" drives are pulls from server farms that have likely been in use for over 20,000 hours. You’re going to want to run a scan of the SMART data right away to make sure it’s healthy without bad sectors or errors. It’s probably also a good idea to use software like Hard Disc Sentinel to make sure it’s reading and writing without errors. That said, these are enterprise level drives that are meant to be much hardier than retail user drives and are specified for over 2 million hours of wear.
