I have just bought the 2 3TB Red drives, I was told these were brand new, when they arrived the packaging say it is RECERTIFIED and the labels on the drives are white.
Checked on the WD site it says they are RED and 3TB. Are these refurbished drives or brand new ?
Thanks but I sort of need a more concrete answers as I need to decide whether to send these back as I did purchase brand new devices and not refurbished ones.
Personally If it said recertified and it was me I would send those drives back. The problem of customers returning drives when they can’t get them to work you don’t know what they have done to them dropped on the floor plugged in wrong. I would not take the chance. But a recertified drive would not have the same warranty as a new one.
