are they the ones which turned out to be second hand refurbs?

The 8TB is $199, coming out to $25/TB. That's way too much, you can get $19/TB for a 14TB from an easystore (easyshuck) right now, and it's not even on sale. I don't buy unless it's under $17/TB, and even then I go to serverpartdeals these days anyway. Their certified refurbished WD DC drives are $12.78/TB for 14TB right now, or $179.99 for double the capacity of this Seagate "sale". And you don't need to use Amazon to get it.
