Excellent price for 6tb of external storage, works out at £17.50 per TB. You can always extract the drive from the case and use it as an internal drive if you prefer.
Edit - Now reduced to £99.99

Recertified? What's that?

Random choice from WD Green, WD Black, HGST or Hitachi drives. Definitively not WD Red.

Any drive that has found its way back to WD cos buyer didn't realise it had to be used with a power supply; was too big to fit in pocket, buyer hadn't received authority from partner to purchase; was too shiny / not shiny enough; or allegedly had a fault that WD couldn't confirm during its post-return testing.

The "recertified" one I had to return couldn't have been tested as the USB port was physically damaged. Took forever to get a refund.

Bought a couple at this price a few months ago, done me good so far. Heat

I was tempted to buy one of these wd my book years ago until I did some research and found that the drives will be encrypted which is great for security but if the box has a fault then you are screwed apparently as you cannot just buy another one and transfer to a new one plus as it is encrypted you cannot attach it to a computer as I mentioned earlier it is encrypted. obviously correct me if I am wrong.

I don't think that's correct. A drive wouldn't come encrypted without an encryption key to decrypt it, otherwise it would be useless to the buyer.

You're right. If you don't plan on pulling it apart for use of the HDD as an internal, you will be at (minor) risk of the encryption hardware - strapped to it - failing.
