Refurbished hard drives?

[jamtheguitarman]

I came across this site which sell mostly refurbished hard drives.

The prices are way way ahead of anything I've come across. i can get a 300gb Sata Seagate for £60.


opinions on this deal and refurbished hard drives in general?

The server

http://www.globegate.net/

is running on a refurbished 9GB Seagate SCSI hard drive that was installed in early 1997 or maybe 1998.

Refurbished drives are just like new drives. The good ones work nearly forever, the bad ones die quickly.

actually, after searching ive found a better deal on a non refurbished drive.

all i need now is a jumper cable so its compatable with my montherboard which only supports sata 1 drives.

is it just one of those little square grey plastic things? a normal jumper?
