Just read the reviews. 75% positive isn't exactly great and the 4th review down seems to suggest the 5 year warranty is worth sod all:

Works well so far. Glad to have the instruction about formatting and finding it on your system.

Drive failed after a day of use. Amazon support refused to give contact for seller. So much for "5 year warranty by reseller".

I recently bought an 8TB drive with a 1yr warranty from Amazon Renewed (Amazon US), was impressed when it arrived and plumped for a 10TB with the 5 year warranty, again Amazon renewed (Amazon US). I try to avoid all 3rd party sellers on Amazon where I can as it simplifies things.
