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.

I’ve been running one for a few weeks in my NAS as a parity drive.

It’s fine so far, but damn these are loud. Significantly more than my WD Red of the same capacity (12TB). It’s not a failing drive either, it’s just louder. Probably won’t buy another since my NAS lives in my home office (I’m in an apartment)
