White Label HDD

Does anyone have any experience with these drives? I plan on using a set of 5 [2TB] drives in a RAID setup. Looks like WD is the manufacturer but I'm not really seeing a lot of input online for these other than that they have been recertified, etc.

Only 1 year warranty, stay away from it. I would stay with known vendors and brands, for example NewEgg and Western Digital. If you pay a tenner more, so what? At least you're not screwed if/when it fails

^^agreed; I didn't realize that they were recertified by a different manufacturer. 🙁
