Running out of RAID server disk space, I chanced upon an eBay deal for
ten Seagate 1TB SAS 2.5" spinning hard disks for £80 all in.
Date of manufacture 2013.
Hmmm... They are likely gonna be shagged?

If you're RAIDing them, surely that doesn't matter? You're protected
against N drives failing in your array, so just select N to be sufficiently large enough. And maybe keep a good drive on standby/next day delivery to cover the time when one does go down, when you're at heightened risk?
(ie if one fails you're now only protected from N-1 failures)
Although I'm not sure I'd go for it over a single 10TB drive. They're gonna howl and take more power.
that one drive goes down you lose everything, with RAID you need to lose N drives before you lose but a higher probability of losing one drive if they're shagged - do the maths).
filling slots that you could fill with larger drives in future (assuming you'd want to).
All my server drives are WD Red specifically for NAS boxes. The oldest 3
are about 6 years now and no faults are showing....yet.
