Are these refurbished?

Question

Accepted Answer

It does appear that way.  The item I received had a small dent in the top cover - not what I would expect from a new item.  It is a "bare drive" packaged just as shown then wrapped in a double layer of bubble wrap.

Mine is running quietly and quickly with no bad sectors.  I haven't ran SMART diagnostics or anything that would tell me the runtime hours, but I really haven't been too concerned.

I have Hitachi drives in service right now that have been running for over 15 years.  It may be you'll get a bad one now and then, but I never have.
