What to Check Before Buying
SAS drives are often the cheapest per TB on the used market but need an HBA card - they will not plug into a desktop SATA port.
Ask sellers for SMART data. Enterprise drives are built for 5+ years of 24/7 duty, so 20-30k hours can still be healthy - but you want to know.
Reputable recertified sellers offer 1-5 year warranties. A warranty is your main protection since the manufacturer one is void or expired.
Used drives belong in RAID/ZFS arrays with backups, not as single copies of irreplaceable data.
