Seagate opens a refurbished drive store with amazing prices
As reported by Tom's Hardware, Seagate's new eBay store is advertising some seriously well-priced drives. The drives tend to have no power-on hours and look like they're new; the only flaws are that the warranty only lasts around 1-2 years, it doesn't come in the original packaging, and it's only available for US customers right now. If you can put up with those issues, you can score yourself a really well-priced drive. Tom's Hardware listed the following examples from Seagate's refurbished store:
Seagate Barracuda 10TB - $153.99
Seagate Exos X16 14TB - $169.99
Seagate Exos X16 12TB - $184.99
Seagate Barracuda Pro 12TB - $184.99
Seagate Exos X16 16TB - $209.99
Seagate Exos X18 16TB - $209.99
Seagate Exos X20 16TB - $209.99
Seagate Exos X20 18TB - $229.99
Seagate Exos X20 20TB - $268.99
Seagate Exos X22 20TB - $268.99
Seagate Exos X22 22TB - $311.99
If you're not savvy with hard drive prices, the Seagate Exos X22 22TB that sells for $311.99 sells brand-new at $610.99. Meanwhile, the Seagate Barracuda Pro 12TB going for $184.99 usually sells for $276 on Amazon. As such, if you're willing to take a chance on the reduced warranty, head over to Seagate's eBay page and save yourself some money.
