Review: Great drives! - Bought 2 of these drives to replace a couple old 4TB drives in my unRAID server. Plugged them in and did a preclear on them, performed great and no errors. They had about 20 hours of time on them total when I received them. Replaced the drives and did a data rebuild which took a day and a half, drives performed flawlessly and stayed cool. Only thing I could complain about is that they did not come packaged as you see in the pictures. They were in the static bag and bound in bubble wrap, not secured in the holder you see in the pics. Also mine did not come with the power adapter either. That was not an issue for me as I use a server with a backplane that utilizes the power disable feature. These are great drives for the money, and I will be buying more to replace aging drives as I can afford it.
Review: Drives do not initialize - Doesn't work. Stay away from these recertified drives. Bought two, neither one will initialize the disk, receives CRC error. Drive unusable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great drives!
*by E***E on August 16, 2023*

Bought 2 of these drives to replace a couple old 4TB drives in my unRAID server. Plugged them in and did a preclear on them, performed great and no errors.

### ⭐ Drives do not initialize
*by T***H on May 28, 2025*

Doesn't work. Stay away from these recertified drives. Bought two, neither one will initialize the disk, receives CRC error. Drive unusable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Option to New
*by W***L on February 23, 2020*

I was skeptical but decided to see what I'd get with a Factory Refurbished product - especially one where proper function is so very critical. After receiving the drive I immediately put it through the standard suite of tests (surface, performance, burn-in, etc.). The drive passed with flying colors. In fact, it beat some of the numbers for the same NEW drive I'd purchased a year before. I went ahead and moved data to it and watched S.M.A.R.T. etc. for signs of failure. To date (almost three months) it has been performing flawlessly.
