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 just bought (4) 8tb drives renewed from Amazon for $65 a piece. They are fine so far in my nas but each has 50k hours lol.

I inherited 6x WD Red 3TB drives from work recently and they all have over 60k hours lol, none of them have any smart errors!
