Any reason these renewed drives from Amazon would be a bad choice? Planning on getting 4 of them to build a NAS and maybe hosting jellyfin.

    The one unexpected thing is the drive runtimes were wiped. I could verify by polling the last SMART runs which contained the runtime, and they were in the 4-5 year range.

    That seems shady. Are you saying that when you ran a new SMART test the drive reported almost no runtime, but the backlog tests showed the actual runtime?
