Cold deal - it's a returned, broken drive that has been fixed ("recertified"). 90 days warranty is a joke. What I do is put a Seagate drive in a MacAlly case - 5 years warranty on the drive, 1 year on the case.

Yes it costs more than this deal - but I won't trust my data to a drive that the seller only trusts for 90 days !
