Factory Recertified Hard Disk Drives
Factory Recertified Hard Disk Drives (HDD) are “refurbished” by the drive’s manufacturer and undergo rigorous testing guidelines until they are deemed “like new” with zero power-on hours.
Only SSDs with 95% read/write cycles go through the recertification process. If replacement parts are required, they are purchased only from approved suppliers and need to meet or exceed design specifications.
Rigorous Testing
Factory recertified drives are tested by the manufacturer at their factory using the same rigorous testing process, approved suppliers, and latest firmware as new drives.
Factory Recertified HDDs are predominantly manufacturer product returns or removed from unsold product, which for various reasons can no longer be considered new. The HDD must pass a manufacturer’s strict guideline for testing to be labeled as a “Factory Recertified” product. HDDs that do not meet these stringent testing requirements are not sold as “Factory Recertified.”
