Looks like a limit of 5 per buyer? I had previously bought the same model from this seller and have had no issues over the last six(ish? give or take a month?) months with them. They went through badblocks testing, etc without a single issue. Of course YMMY but I am pleased with what I got months ago and the drives have been chugging along without issue in my TrueNAS box.
For the record I paid $80 a drive.

very good drives in general, I have.. a few thousand
personally, even though they dont' have the warranty, I'd go with one of these 14TB deals.

Didn't know about these deals so thank you for posting them here. The first is definitely priced better at <$6/TB but the second is around the same price except it comes with the controller and cables which can be a value add.
I do have about 600 of them at home though 
fased out from business, they only do my homelab, no real data, so not really datahoarder either. just.. hoarder?
