IF Western Digital or Seagate refurb their drives I have less problem with it then average JOE would do the same....It has nothing to do with Money, just poor refurb job's by choose'ing the wrong candidates.

Well said. +1 for mr_spokk.

Western Digital and Seagate use to sell as "brand new" drives with clear traces of refurb - deactivated heads, scratches on the SA, huge P-List, etc... Are those drives "time-bombs"?

If I run the same tests as Western Digital or Seagate do on their fabs, then what makes the difference? Their chinesse stuff?

By the way , I use only drives refurbed by me and I have never had any time-bomb explosions.

So, mr_spokk stop spreading lies and miths about the refurb drives, please!

I don't think you are so stupid to trust them.

You never know what they do at factory...

For sure, their resources are more than yours.

They just upload a new revision of FW and run full ARCO + SS tests + a few pairs of B9 and BA.
