Nothing wrong with refurbs. In fact, something lightly used will be more reliable than something new as you are likely past the infant mortality period for a product.

I would be very CAUTIOUS about these refurb deals by this company based in Florida. I believe there are company shills in many of these hard drive threads, all recommending this company. It would be different if there were a number of different vendors and different people posting.

You might get lucky, just understand they have 999 in stock, always 999 in stock. They are 3rd party vendor on Amazon too.

They could be "cool" but it gets hard to tell if it is shill or not.

I thought about buying from them, but I slept on it a few days, and I just get got bad feeling about it.

If I was in this business, I would try to have people come to SlickDeals to promote my stuff and throw some money or "free drives" if they increase business.

Since these all get "reset" to show clean smart stats , problems may not show up until you get to the 19tb portion of drive, and then disk crashes.

Data miners, and big companies have thousands of these drives, and they under constant hard work 24/7. And when they go bad, send them to WD or Seagate under warrenty. We have NO IDEA about any of these drives, all data/smart stats are scrubbed. If it said "this drive has 250,000 hours and was used for data mining, would you buy it?
It could also mean new and repackaged.

Seagate? Refurbished? This is like seeing a Femme Fatale. You know you're gonna get your ass kicked, but it's still damn tempting!

plz buy again so this can go down to $175.

Did the drives you purchase come with any Seagate warranty, like did you enter the serial number on their website and have it show any warranty left?

Refurbished does not mean "lightly used". It means broken and refurbished.
It could also mean new and repackaged.

I believe the warranty is from the seller, not the manufacturer, even if Seagate refurbished the disks. But I am not 100% sure, and I did not buy from this seller before.
