Recertified Mybooks have Green (or sometimes Blue) drives. The MyCloud units have Reds (labelled simply as NasWare).
People claiming WD make bad drives are talking out of the wrong hole - I have seven WD HDDs among my drives, three of which with 30,000+ hours on them (2 Greens and an Enterprise Black) - My Reds are less than two years old but haven't skipped a beat. In contrast, one of my Samsungs and two of my Seagates have died.

Got the last deal for the 3tb ones delivered for £44 each, two running now for last few months, one in my pc and the other in xbox one, no problems at all. Copying across from pc ssd, i get about 150meg a second via usb3. Way faster than my buffalo nas 20meg a second.

Is it good idea to use refurbished storage units, especially when there is limited warranty?

Data should always be backed up whether it's a new drive or not.

wouldn't recommend I bought 4tb refurbished wd ripped it out of the case and put it into my synology nas within 2 months the hard drive completely failed on me with irrecoverable bad sectors and major io errors and since I took the hdd out of the enclosure no warranty. Lucky I managed to recover my data before it completely died. Lesson learnt, I now have a 4tb WD red and that's been going strong 24 hours use.

The only hdd I ever had fail was from WD. Perhaps I should list on on an auction site as 'Used vgc but needs attention'? (the lack of punctuation is the current fleabay style I believe?)
