Cheaper than 1 month ago (and 1TB version :confused:), down from rrp of £99.
I don't think being recertified is really a problem as long as you don't use this for data back up or anything.
Looks just about user-friendly enough for me.
Keep an eye out for the 6TB one coming back into stock at £134.

yeah it will. i had one and they work fine with apple products.
this is a brilliant price for a 2TB model and even moreso because you can pull the drive if you ever upgrade to a better nas

Refurbished basically- I couldn't find a better definition on the website. Maybe someone else can.

For anyone that needs user quotas the single bay version doesn't have this feature. I did a quick google before purchasing, but hadn't spotted the references I saw to "User Quota" were for the dual bay versions only. Several threads on their forums, but WD seem to be ignoring it.

Got a recertified 3TB version running for a year now. (got for less than £70). Perfect for most peoples basic NAS requirements. The only minus is the lack of a bittorrent client (think you can get one for the higher end models). I haven't tried NFS as yet but I doubt most people will care!

I'm after a My Cloud, but what do you mean not for backups? Im
Hoping to stick photos and stuff on it, will it not be sufficient?

It will be sufficient, I wouldn't worry. But as #10 comment suggests, the drive may not be as reliable as a brand new one so it's advisable not to use it as the only backup of all your photos and other important files.

It usually means a previous customer's drive that's failed under warranty, been repaired and now WD are reselling it.
Pros: Cheaper than buying new.
Cons: Less warranty, no telling how old or how much usage drive has previously had.
