ok ra kaayo... para nako technically good as new but i can only speak of seagate...

hhhmmm... sayop napud si TS ug name sa title... dili ni RMA kundi, "Refurbished HDDs"... kay ang RMA... meaning ana nya kay "Returned Merchandise Authorization"... number na sya na ihatag sa manufacturer para i-return ang merchandise for repair or replacement...

technically, Refurbished HDDs are good as new... ablihan na nila... if naa'y components na needs to be changed, ilisan na nila... dili lang na repair2x ug moryo2x lang... the HDD manufacturers have the technical knowledge and equipment to service the returned HDDs. kun dili ma repair. ilabay na nila ang dili na ma salvage... then ilisan ug bnew or refurbished unit ang owner...

Boss @lloyd_joy ila i term man gud RMA man gud so mao ra ako naandan gamit. daghan mana sila sa B&S. ila style ani is buying sila defective hdd asking for serial then if under warranty ila ipa RMA then baligya nila ang nailisan na hard disk an sealed na. not sure jud sa exact details jud if unsaon nila.

Pros on brand new HDDs: 3yrs manufacturers warranty, 1 from store and 2 from distro/manufacturer.

For me ok ra kaau palitun ang refurbished HDDs, ask lang pud ang seller if naa pay warranty nabilin ang HDD for your peace of mind.

For the record, nakapalit pud ko ug refurbished 320 IDE HDD, 2 years and counting buhi lang ghapon, akong gi-sulod ug enclosure.

i am using repaired hdd seagate.. so far ok kaayo cya.. ako ra sd nag pa rma.. salig ra sd ko ani..

[infoseeker]

i even encounter brandnew siya with resibo from reliable store
undetected inigabot sa balay
ako giuli sa store- after checking nila - giilisan nila bag-o

so same scenario sa RMA- hdd
pwede swerti usahay malas
pero ask for a personal warranty para dile ka kulbaan
