Never use referbs unless you are the one pulling the drive.

You may as well just delete your data, because thats going to happen once you use that HDD.

Alright /g/, you have spoken. You haven't steered me wrong yet.

Understand what you're getting. This drive has sat in a server for 10,000+ hours and got thoroughly used. It will have significantly less life- so sure, use it, IF you have a backup system in place

Teehee from vibrators to industrial equipment hitachi's got your back

Been using a refurbished 4TB Deskstar for years, works great and only had a few thousand hours on it when I got it.

I lost the refurb lottery once.
never again.

All I heard before, dude, it's way cheaper and I never had any problem. But I ended up with the short stick. 80% of the price for a way disproportionate chance for problems is not a good deal.

Its a refurbished drive. But one from THE best manufacturers. Most of these have >10K hours already used but are rated for >1M hours due to how good they are.

Its cheap but sometimes reliable when money is tight.
