Most of the time, drives from individual sellers, like here on r/homelabsales, package their products much better than places like Amazon. Last time I tried from them, and it was supposed to be their house refurbs, three drives came loose in one of those thin plastic bags with absolutely no type of padding anywhere to be seen. Those things were seriously torn up.

ServerPartDeals has good reputation. I've been using used hard drives for years; used to only purchase new, but changed my opinion after trying some used enterprise drives. Also have a few used SSD's that work fine.
Cheers!
