Has anyone bought from here before? Looking to upgrade my NAS drives.

I just bought two of their 12TB for $100 each and they were the manufactured recertified. One had like 8 hours run time and the second had like 36 hours so brand new for the lifetime of a hard drive. So far no issues. Also beware these drives are very loud.

Refurbished drives get their SMART data reset during the process, they absolutely had more than that originally.

Oh wow I did not know that.

That's absolutely terrifying. Like resetting the speedometer for used cars.

You mean odometer, resetting the speedometer wouldn't be a bad thing.

Hang on, you don't typically buy your cars at 15Km/h?

Usually I buy them at a slower speed as I'm not in shape

You'd better hope that be pretty close to zero before attempting repairs.
