Another question about used hard drives (lemmynsfw.com)

Did decide to go the used drive route just saving up and waiting for the right deal from a good seller. I did notice on eBay specifically that some sellers have tested drives for a great price per tb with a shit seller's warranty (30 days to 1 year) but offer insurance for a significantly longer length of time for a few more bucks. I'm wondering if that's a good alternative to having a long seller's warranty? Just assume I will back everything up properly so drive failure won't be a massive concern I just want the option of returning it or getting a replacement if need be.

You reassured me thank you. Was straight up looking at 10tb hgst drives but was hesitant. I'll still check out other drives that have manufacturer warranties on them but its nice to know I can fall back on my old plan if I don't find a good deal.
