Recertified Hard Drives - What does this mean? (serverpartdeals.com)
 

Hi all. I've seen a few drives described as recertified like the one I have linked. Can anyone tell me what this means? Is it the same as used/refurbished? They all seem to be much cheaper than new so are catching the eye but I'm not sure if it would be a good idea.

I'm an idiot. Thought HDDs were just the standard standalone hard drives that didn't require an enclosure! So yeah, it's HDDs I should be looking for ๐Ÿซ

Lol, going by some of the responses I'm getting I think I'm using the wrong term ๐Ÿ˜… this is an example of what I'm talking about: https://serverpartdeals.com/products/seagate-exos-x20-st20000nm007d-20tb-7-2k-rpm-sata-6gb-s-3-5-recertified-hard-drive

Sering refurbished 20TB ones for just over โ‚ฌ200 on Serverpartdeals.com. Would they be reliable?

Hi all, I recently bought my first enclosure. I've been looking at SSDs on Amazon but I'm not sure what to go with. Can anyone recommend a good 20TB SSD? I'll be using it for Plex. Are there any good sales at the moment anywhere (I'm in Ireland, not sure where to look!). This is the enclosure I bought:

When I have a chance I'll check to received enclosure to see if its max capacity SSD is 16 or 20TB as it mentions both in the pictures and written description!
