I’ve bought four manufacturer refurb drives from them. Two recently, the other two have thousands of hours and no issue. For the price I get them on sale from SPD I’ll happily buy more

I don’t think they really do sales. Might occasionally see 10-20.00 off a drive now and again but they’re generally selling at below everyone else’s margins. I’m quite pleased with my used drives from them, and it’s nice to have a warranty behind a refurbished/recertified harddrive. I have 6x12TB recertified Seagate exos drives in my server from them. I bought them 2 at a time a few weeks apart as to avoid potential failure of multiple drives from the same pull/batch. I built my unraid plex server about 8 months ago and have had no problems. Putting them through seagates testing suite(long and short) when I first bought them returned no bad sectors or errors and the couple of times I’ve run parity tests everything’s been good. I would highly recommend them. That being said despite the quality of the company you should still take normal steps to protect yourself when buying used drives(and new ones) and don’t buy more than acouple at a time to spread out the batches they come from and also keep a couple for hot/cold storage(as well as the standard procedure of also having cold and offsite backups of your critical data.)

Absolutely 100% legit go-to place to shop for drives from now on. My days of shucking are over.

I currently have 2 Exos X20 18TB drives in my array. They were manufacturer refurbs. The drives arrived packaged very well. Both drives passed a full scan and haven’t shown any issues in the 2 months they’ve been up. Sorry I can’t give you a longer history than that but I just took the jump to trying refurb recently.

I’m planning to use them as a source for part of my new array that’ll use 20GB drives. As for special sales, like Black Friday, I have no idea. However they definitely do have sales. I got my drives for $165 and they are currently selling for $190.

I just started using them 2 months ago. I bought 2 18tb seagate exos drives. Excellent servivce and packaging. Will use them for all my drives from now on.
