With our quest to store all of the footage we’ve ever shot for our videos, we’re constantly in need of more storage. Unfortunately, storage is expensive, but when we found drives on eBay for nearly 50% off – we did what any sane folks would, and spent $10,000+ on them. Will we regret it?

Seagate’s full reply to our question about where recertified drives come from: “The drives come from a variety of sources and may become available to the refurbishment process for a range of reasons from commercial to technical. Drives are repaired and/or upgraded as appropriate, then re-tested to ensure they meet or exceed quality and performance requirements as per the relevant data sheet and will perform well for the term of the warranty.”
