There used to be a fair business in that, as huge enterprises would cycle out drives on a predictable period rather than running them to failure.
My NAS is an ancient Atom box originally from some touchscreen POS with a refurbised 12TB HGST drive. It needed a special power cable because big storage backplanes defined one pin of the SATA power cable differently than normal desktop PSUs.
It feels like thry went to more effort to make a non-convincing fake label than to scan the label from a real WD drive though.
