RxBradIn mid-2024, I bought a bunch of WD/HGST 12TB refurb HDDs for $75 each. They came from GoHardDrive and had a 5-year warranty. I even used the warranty on a drive that died a couple months later. All good.
I see now that GHD is now entirely "sold out" of these drives. However, they have plenty of relabeled MaxDigitalData 12TB drives. These are just the same refurb WD/HGST drives, but with a GoHardDrive house-brand sticker on them.
All to say that my 5-year free-replacement warranty appears to have been swapped with a "30% off" coupon on those 12TB drives (which now cost $250 each). Because, now, GHD can just refund the original $75 purchase price and say they don't have replacements anymore.
