some stupid bargains to be had, no idea how long stock will last though
just grabbed a WD My book 3TB recertified drive for £43.99 delivered!
Also My Book 2TB (Recertified) is £34.19 delivered amongst others
Use code WDSPRING16 at checkout
Also tried on full price and worked eg £45.80 off a 6TB blue drive
Don't forget, if you have a company account, and can use its VAT number, you don't pay VAT

Dont think I could ever trust a recertified drive, it basically means its already broken once. Sure its been through procedures to make it comply to WD's criteria but doesn't change the fact that the drive failed. Also a very low warranty. If you can afford to loose whatever you put on the drive, or you back it up somewhere, yeah sure, good deal.

Don't know what your saying?
6 months is very short for a hard drive, usually 3-5 years.
"WD recertified products may consist of customer return units"
That could mean anything. Could be customer error, the drive failed, the power board failed etc. Its a gamble.
Not saying its not a good deal
£43.99 for a 3TB desktop drive is amazing value, but you have to be willing to take the risk.
Went for that one, cheers! Should do for sticking all my music files in the car!

anyone know if any of the 2TB or 3TB portable 2.5" drives are removable, hence suitable for use in a PS4?

Not necessarily. Read the blurb for what constitutes a re-certify.
And tbh an individually repaired unit will have had more time and care applied than an off the production line one.
Thinking of one for my Freeview TV for recording on. I could stand to lose anything on that.

The same comment gets posted every single time.
If you're backing ANY data up to ANY single source you're a moron. A brand new drive to fail almost as likely.

I agree that 6 month warranty is pretty poor. They could of at least gave it a years warranty.
On the other hand, I read quite a few times from a WD rep that their refurbed units are tested to much greater lengths then their factory fresh units just to make sure that their hard drives are good.

A lot maybe customer returns as the WD software is abysmal. Had my 2TB Mycloud a day and its going back as the software just doesnt work (WD want me to mess around with DHCP settings in my router to get their WD Sync software working). Its really complicated so I'm sending it back.
