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 would like to add anecdotally that all of my server drives are second hand and run very well. I’ve only ever had one issue in tens of drives. I think it’s worth it if you can get them for around 3-5$ PT. I have more than one server and everything is backed up.

    If it’s much more I would just get them at the highly recommended serverpartsdeals (right?) site.
