I was looking to buy a renewed NAS for my Plex server from Go Hard Drive (linked above). I’m not a fan of refurbished but if it’s certified then I would really consider it.
My question is renewed certified? I hear a lot of good things about the site which is why I’m really interested.

It 100% depends on vendor, and honestly, you have no way of checking. It may mean as little as “well, we pulled it from a working system… so it’s a fair bet it’s working!”
Also keep in mind “5 year warranty” doesn’t mean a damn thing if the company is gone next year.
This is a refurbished Seagate Exos, so if you actually do get 5 years of warranty that’s a good deal
I’m a fan of refurbished, but I’m not sure $12/TB is cheap enough to justify in this case. Wouldn’t be for me.
Only heard a little bit about GHD, and what I do see always looks suspiciously like astroturfing. But thats just me.
Not at that price watch for black Friday sales instead. $14-$15TB new vs. 12TB used with no warranty is not a great deal.
