Renewed Amazon drives (alien.top)

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.

This is a good point. Surveillance drives are built with the expectation that they will be writing in video data from a security camera system 24/7, so they're optimized for a constant data write and less so for read, and really not intended for general-purpose random read/write actions. It'll still work, but not as well as a NAS drive would.
