[SAS smartctl] Should I get worried?

Hi, guys!
Unfortunatelly this is first time when I get SAS drives, and they came with our physical dedicated server located in Romania.
I would like to receive some feedback about them from those who have experience with SAS drives because I'm a bit confused because they have lot of power on time but at the same time, I have one SSD on OVH with same power on time but only 8% wearout.
The main questions are:
1. Are they safe to be rented without RAID setup? (I'm interested in chances to die in less than 12 months) ?
2. Should I keep buying from this stock or it worth to pay 4x times for same amount of space from new drives?
Thank you!
Best regards, Florin.

Drive 8 years old?
Unfortunatelly, yeah.
I didnt had idea about this before purchasing.
I guess you got already used refurbished hardware. Instead recycling. Ask them to offer you wood racks for free as addition.
You purchased cociu's involucrated drives, what did you expect?
Any customers you have should be worried.
Like buying an old car ! This car was used only 1 day per year by old lady to go to church and it is in perfect conditions. I mean check everything before buying ....
Other than the age, what exactly is the problem?
Don't even say that jokingly.
Age always a problem if you cannot ride old lady before she going to church.
Are you supposed to be allowed access to the internet without your cater present?
