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.
Buy from a reputable reseller. Serverpartdeals has gained respect in this community.
Refurbished = used = recertified. They don’t do anything to them except maybe scan for bad sectors and sometimes reset the SMART attributes. But Serverpartdeals provides a 2 year warranty for most of their drives as far as I’m aware. Warranty is through them though not direct from the drive manufacturer.
Thanks for the info 👍 Would you know of any reputable sellers in Europe?
