Recently, the HD on a 2yr old laptop went out and I shopped online for a
replacement.
Within 2 days, the replacement drive crashed too. After some "investigating"
I found out that my replacement drive was actually a "REFURBISHED" unit.
Something I would not have bought considering that the prices were virtually
the same. Actually I wouldn't even install a refurbished free drive. But the
whole thing looked very new and convincing to me. In fact if it wasn't for
it's quick failure I'd never known.
Anyway, the point of this message is simply to warn that there are a LOT of
internet websites selling used stuff and pretending it's new.
The particular site I bought this HD only acknowledged/informed that their
drives were "remanufactured" on a "about us" tab in the website's headings.
Just a heads-up.
