Thanks for this. I do have 1 from them that i believe is under warranty for another year.

good to know, thanks

I would agree from random sellers. However serverpartdeals is a pretty known reseller and typically offers a warranty. They also list their testing methods on their website.

All 4 of my drives are refurbs from serverpartdeals. They typically come with a 2-3 year SPD replacement warranty. Mine just happened to pass 3 years in April of this year. This is the first failure for me.

ETA: I think I’ll change my title to refurbished.
