Seagate X22 20TB $219 Renewed

[MiniKnight]

This is a strange deal. Does anyone know why these are $219 renewed on Amazon? Here's the link.

Are they just Seagate refurbs? It says they're from the Amazon Renewed store.

The X22 22TB is $284 renewed.
Iron Wolf 20TB is $275 renewed.
X20 20TB is $389 new.

They're about the price of the no-name 20TB drives on there.

Think this is the same company as ServerPartsDeal (SPD)
Seagate Exos X22 ST20000NM004E 20TB 7.2K RPM SATA 6Gb/s 512e 3.5in Recertified Hard Drive - $209.99
Drives come with a 2 year warranty from SPD.

The other company selling a lot of refurbs is GoHardDrive (GHD). They also sell reflashed Out-of-Spec (OOS) drives under their MDD brand. Looks like their drives come with a 5 year warranty through GHD https://www.goharddrive.com/20tb-hard-drive-s/295.htm

Upon a full review, I suspect they may be considering a rebranding, and Seagate might be shedding these drives. Crazy, but might boost overall sales vs the competition. See:

Incidentally Exos E doesn't load for me now, but that could be unrelated: Exos E Series Hard Drives | Seagate Canada

I've been eyeing them for awhile, but wth, I'm in for 6, and I will review SMART stats upon receipt, and throw em at Unraid Preclear.
I'm a hesitant sort and would much rather have Toshiba on my parity for their advertised one better exponent on failed bits, but hey, price is price.
