refurbished hdd

Go to solution Solved by ShadowCaptain,

is it ok to get refurbished hdd ? thanks

 

They should work fine, only really worth it if they are DIRT cheap and not being used for sensitive data

 

Personally drives are so cheap I would just buy new

i wouldn't, i my sister has a refurbished HDD, it said "speed problems fixed", not a month later it once again takes 20 minutes for her to launch her games.

before that it worked fine, but unless it's dirt cheap, i mean dirt! i wouldn't go for it, a brand new one isn't that expensive, compared to an SSD anyway
