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.

Hey long shot but I did end up buying one with a year of manufacturer warranty still available and was wondering if you went through the process of getting a replacement from WD (the manufacturer of my drive) that was brought from eBay? I made a new post but couldn't get answers and I just got a couple of questions.

its been a minute, but when i did this i took the serial number to WD. their site proved the warranty and had a swap policy, i just sent it back directly to WD.
