What's people's opinion on these recertified drives?

I've bought 2 so far (a 1Tb portable and 3Tb MyBook for an Xbox). All seemed new and working away. I bet these are just listed as "recertified" so that other resellers don't complain that WD are undercutting them. Buy with confidence. About to buy a 4TB MyCloud.(though they can take a couple of weeks to arrive).

Will xbox accept the drivers full size? Asking coz I thought non-microsoft drive will be limited to 30gb only. Thx

Have they been cosmetically perfect like they've never been used with original packaging?

That was my impression of the 2 I got. The casing on the MyBook could scratch easily so I would have noticed if it had been used

I've had 2 recertified WD drives, both in original packaging, both appeared brand new, both still working fine.
I think 1tb has been cheaper than this before though.

My (once) primary hard drive is a refurbished hard drive and while I don't really personally trust refurbs to last an incredibly long time this hard drive proves me wrong, somehow.
From what I know of Xbox's you can have it as an external hard drive but you can't put it internally due to a restriction (I'm not really sure why that restriction is there but whatever.)

Got a recertified 1TB for my Xbox one and it works flawlessly... Just connect it to your Xbox as an external drive and hit the settings to add up...
