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.
Yep, just bought 2 of these from them ๐๐
Aren't these "seller refurbished "? Are those reliable? Maybe reliable enough?
These are manufacturer recertified. My understanding is that manufacturer recertified is the same quality as original, but potentially higher QC since it was manually checked as part of the recertification process.
They do also sell seller refurbished though, and those I donโt know much about.
Great to know, thank you. I will do some reading up on people's experiences with the recertified drives.
