Damn, these prices are so overpriced. I can find same HD in amazon for less and those in amazon still expensive.

For now, only looking for 1 and how soon depends on the price and drive condition.
I am looking for 8TB-10TB is more than enough for my needs mostly to backup my 2 SSD drives.
I see thanks but I am only looking for 10TB ones don't need 20TB.
Seller labeled as New through, what I found weird also is that the drive does not say Exo in the label.

No idea how that seller got 100% reputation.
I did some research and it seems its the Seagate Enterprise Capacity instead of Exos. What is the difference? Seagate Exos vs Enterprise Capacity?
Thank you for your answer very helpful, you notice things I did not like OEM and recertified/refurbished.
Do you know any good offer? I have read also that Seagate is not as good drive... Western digital and Toshiba supposedly better but Western digital are a lot more expensive at lower capacity.
This is another Hard drive refurbished, but it seems a gamble.. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074WGLH47/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A18WXU4I7YR6UA&psc=1
Where did you buy them by the way? I wonder if from newegg since they have a suspicious low price there.
I did search and didn't find anything better in amazon, I guess they sold out. Amazon pricing is crap as well. Newegg has similar price to wd.com but you can add coupons there. I try to add coupon in wd.com but it made the price more expensive than without coupon.. ebay has better pricing but they is a lot of scams selling used drives as new since they delete the usage data.
I am on edge of buying a seagate on ebay but not sure. Since they selling it as new but I did some research on them in reddit and some old posts said that ebay seller use software to delete the usage data.. What I learned is that buying hard drives on blackfriday and cyber Monday is a terrible idea. I even saw prices in cyber Monday go up in price.
