Is it wise to buy a used hard drive?

when we buy 2nd hand items,we rest our fate to the mercy of the seller...so it is important to know your seller's past achievements and whereabouts in case something goes wrong(god forbid)...

Wala pa ko encounter og problem when buying used HDDs (Buy and Sell Section)...
But most of my HDDs gyud are Brand New.

hard drives are getting cheap and capacity is getting bigger these days with 5 year warranty, never buy 2nd hand and always backup your data.

Replied to your PM.



Lisud kung mo uli paka to check the current state using the software, kung mo uli paka to test dayon inig contact nimo sa seller DI NA MA REACH hahahhaha, and some seller hasolan na mo baligya kung mo adto paka sa ila imong pa testingan. IF they offer nga mo adto paka sa ila to test the HD then its good to go mao na some site naay reputation or feedbacks to know how realable the seller is.

Thats why check RMA status first sa net base on the picture posted diri sa istorya and of course, e head to foot sad na ang imung seller oy. Not too discriminate but you will have the "feeling" if its legit or no
