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.

My logic is this - if it’s for Linux ISOs only, go ahead and get it; if it’s for backups and important files - brand new is the only acceptable answer. (You can shuck them to save a few $$, but new none the less).
If you have a filesystem that does parity, still new is only acceptable?
No, You have BACKUPS... and backup those on this / cloud.
