I personally don't trust used and would rather just pay more and buy new, but then again I value my data (and also have backups).

Once as a teenager I think I had a drive die and I lost my data, but ever since then I've always made sure to have a backup of my data. Ironically, I haven't had a drive die since then lol. For example, I've got ssds from over a decade ago still running daily with no issues.

18tb were recently this price and I got one, but imho this is still a good deal. You could buy this, hold it until cyber Monday, and if the 18tb doesn’t go back on sale then keep it and be happy.
