Good one - I think I will make a comment
Now look out for the cold votes and the hypocrytical anoraks saying "Ooooh it's re-certified I will lose all my data, and I am scared of this, because all brand new disks last forever and have a 3 year warranty, so nobody ever loses data on a new disk, and Joe Nobb 'ead will come on and say "I had one of these that lasted 7 seconds, they're rubbish"
And so on.
So use it as a baby "cloud" server for your home, access movies and music from anywhere in your house, great fun and easy to set up
So plug and go with COPIES of media files or overflow Humax recordings, or your fave MP3's and this will enable to to do lots with your existing TV, or existing phone (probably)

If you use a single drive for important data, recertified or not, then be prepared to lose it!

If it's gone wrong before the chances are it will go wrong again.

Yes but no, but what ARE the chances?
There is certainty that one potential problem has been fixed. There's a 6 month guarantee. Only hard drives I've had die on me have been 2 weeks old and 10 years old. No one gives 10 year guarantees on hard drives.
Also, if it has been checked twice. Presumably someone with a more specialist skill set has repaired it since they are usually made on a production line. So isn't is less likely to fail now? What are the chances?
Also, don't people just return stuff because they changed their mind? I bet WD stick it straight onto the re-certified pile. What ARE the chances?
You will hear this often. The chances are becasue its most peoples experience having dipped their toe in:
I've bought re-certified WD several times. They look brand new and none have failed.

I just got my back in stock email too.
Should be a 6tb green drive inside. Now I need to find in which unit they put the 2tb or 3tb reds in...
