They are refurbs so maybe that is the right price?two drives for $232....seems a bit low.
I have not bought one. I just searched the Alibaba site now, for curiosity; in response to this thread.@Boddy how did those China drives work? That looks really dodgy to me.
I think the majority of drives are from the Southern California recyclers who ingest WD (and other) RMA drives, test the drives, often wipe SMART data, then re-sell as good under White Label.I imagine that this is where the white labels drives are sourced
If you don't mind sharing, what tipped you off that this was the case? It would be nice to know for future transactions and dialogue with the other sellers.Contacted the seller ages ago and determined that they're engaged in triangulation fraud, so you'll want to avoid them even though the prices are very lucrative.
