i wont advice you using Refurbish SSD mate because the quality or the longevity of usage might be shorter than Brand New .

Don't look for cheap when you can spend higher but the quality and usage assures you long and also the warranty is the big thing there.

How long do you think the refurbished SATA will last compare to the new one?

Your guess can be as good as everyone's. I myself have bought a refurbished drive a long time ago and was just trying to some systems back then reformatting it from NTFS to ETX4 and then eventually after just a few months of running, a sound started ticking inside it.  I didn't use it after for it will just be a threat to the files. It may depend on how we use the drive so its up to you, Just don't use it as a backup drive.

Just buy a new one mate. If you have a budget for a newer one, take it. I wouldn't put my money into a lesser life span with refurbished SATA drives.

How much actually is your budget?

Life of an SSD will depreciate by number of write on the disks so you should never buy an old SSD when it comes to crypto related usage. kingston And WD brands having cheaoest SSD drives for both internal and external so I advise you to go for it.
