    Are they used HDDs? Nothing worse than buying something that's on the brink of dying.

    Nope! They're brand new shuckable (you can take out the hdd) external drives. I have 10 14tb drives in my nas that all came from this. And if you keep the enclosures, you can still warrenty them.

    That's def Ai, but it seems well curated and the info looks pretty reliable. I go for the western digital drives myself, they seem to have the best reliability. To pop them open it's just plastic clips, and once you get the corners to pop you can usually pull the rest by hand.
