I found a local shop which sells refurbished and recertified HDDs for a really good price. Some are refurbished, some are recertified, it’s not both at the same time.

Do you have any experience with them? The shop gives a standard one year warranty with them.

    I’m using 4 refurbished drives in my server. My first one is showing early signs of failing after three years of being my main torrenting/plex drive.

    The other three are new (to me) and are an upgrade from the failing one.

    I’d say if the prices are decent, and it includes a year warranty, it doesn’t sound like a bad deal. Just make sure to back it up.
