We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Worth Purchasing Renewed? (www.goharddrive.com)

I was looking to buy a renewed NAS for my Plex server from Go Hard Drive (linked above). I'm not a fan of refurbished but if it's certified then I would really consider it.

My question is renewed certified? I hear a lot of good things about the site which is why I'm really interested.

I've been buying all of my hard drives from GoHardDrive and Worldwide Product Importers (a competitor in this space).

I have bought a little over 20x at this point of various sizes (8TB to 12TB) and brands (WD, HGST, and Seagate), a few years later and they're all still running like clockwork. I also only buy NAS/enterprise grade drives.

I've never purchased an "MDD" branded drive though, which is just a relabeled drive, but by the looks of the listing, looks like a Seagate Exos drive?

The hard drives always came with a warranty card that confirmed the warranty period and information on how to file a claim if needed.

MDD (MaxDigitalData) is a division of GoHardDrive that sells refurb pulls.
