Recertified Hard Drives - What does this mean?
(serverpartdeals.com)
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.
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 ๐ Would you know of any reputable sellers in Europe?
