Hi all. I’ve seen a few drives described as recertified like the one I have linked. Can anyone tell me what this means? Is it the same as used/refurbished? They all seem to be much cheaper than new so are catching the eye but I’m not sure if it would be a good idea.

    While I personally haven’t had the best luck with recertified drives, Serverpartdeals has always taken care of me.

    Last week a 16tb Exo recertified died on me and was literally three weeks away from falling out of their 2 year warranty and they RMA’d it no questions asked.
