What’s the catch? Is there a catch?

These are used drives that have about 35K hours (4 years) of power on time.
Good quality drives to be sure, but maybe not as reliable now as they once were.

That's why you buy extras and put them in RAID or zfs!

It just means they've survived the first part of the bathtub curve. To me that's a bonus.
