I would like to add anecdotally that all of my server drives are second hand and run very well. I’ve only ever had one issue in tens of drives. I think it’s worth it if you can get them for around 3-5$ PT. I have more than one server and everything is backed up.
If it’s much more I would just get them at the highly recommended serverpartsdeals (right?) site.
