Been looking for some home cloud storage for the inlaws and wanted a big, cheap as possible drive and this seems to fit the price. I know its re-certified but 4TB for under £100 seems pretty good.

I didnt realise non refurbs wont "fail anytime" You best print out all your data as any mechanical hard drive can fail at anytime. Whether you use a refurb or otherwise you should back up. I'm personally not concerned that my refurb or non refurb may fail as everything is duplicated. I'd rather use the money for two refurbs and have two copies then rely on one non refurb drive.

I doubt this will get much heat as the deal on thursday was for £71 and went to minus 50

The £71 deal wasn't a my book live and was only 3tb, I can see it going cold though as it's reverified, it's £155 new from Amazon for comparison.

As you may soon see a lot of people on here seem to have a crazy aversion to them "because they might fail" which of course you could say about any drive brand new or 10 years old. I have bought a few refurb drives in the past and so far no problems at all and some have been in use over a year.
This is a decent price though personally think the cloud features are a bit of a gimmick, I'd rather have a basic drive a bit cheaper but if you want those features its a very solid price...

I would never buy re-certified, never. It may fail anytime and my files are more important than saved £££

Having a brand new drive is no guarantee against failure. You might drop it or accidentally reformat it. Or it could just fail.
If your data really is that important to you, buy two of these and keep two copies. That way not only will your data be safer, but you will have saved twice as much money!

A second hand hard drive should be much cheaper than this. You can call it a "referb" or a bucket of carrots if you like , it's second hand
