  • Amazon Renewed drives?

    From poindexter FORTRAN@1337:3/178 to All on Monday, June 01, 2026 11:17:54
    Has anyone ordered or had luck (good or otherwise) with Amazon Renewed
    drives? Looks like they've kicked the secondary drive market people off
    of Amazon, most of the listings are now AR.

    Too bad, I populated my Synology NAS with 5x2TB drives from old systems
    and schucked external drives, and have replaced drives as they went bad
    with white label branded drives from third-parties on Amazon for cheap.
    They came with 3 year warranties. I had one drive go bad after 2 years
    and received a replacement from the seller in less than a week -
    shipping prepaid both ways.

    For home, non-production workloads, it seemed perfect.

    I went to Amazon to look at what it could cost to replace my 2TB drives
    with 4TB drives, and that's when I saw the change in Amazon's listings.

    ... No appropriate tagline.
