Spoke to WD this morning and they said that due to the popularity of the item the drive went out of stock whilst my order was being processed. The stock has been replenished as of today and I should receive a shipping email within the next 24 hours.
Customer service was pretty poor as I have had to phone them about 4 times since placing the order but I suppose that is the flipside of the coin to getting a 4tb drive for £65 when they are retailing at £100!
I will deffo be testing the drive thoroughly when I get it! Hope this info helps someone.

Well at least you're proof of reincarnation, well done.
Not worth risk. I got one of them month ago and died after a day. Just pure luck.

No risk as long as your all backed up as one should with any hdd.
Had plenty recertified drives before, no issues and you would spend up to double on a new one of this size with hdd pricing as bad as it is.
Great price, heated...

So what's the problem? If it died after a day then that would have left you with loads of time to return it.
The first thing I'm going to do when I get mine is continuously benchmark/stress test for 10-15 days straight. Going to do everything in my power to break them before the guarantee runs out.
Nice super cheap deal before the train wreck called Brexit hits. Stock up while you can!

Comes with a 6 month warranty. I've bought 6 or so, shucked them and had no issues with them so far, coming up to 8 months I think now? So yes its risky cause more prone to failure, but your luck may vary.

I've had three 2TB recertified drives in my NAS for over a year.
Had 2 of these plugged into the iMac for the last 2 years....no worries at all:{

These are 3.5" drives - too big for your laptop.
