Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Recertified Hard Drives - What does this mean? (serverpartdeals.com)

Hi all. I've seen a few drives described as recertified like the one I have linked. Can anyone tell me what this means? Is it the same as used/refurbished? They all seem to be much cheaper than new so are catching the eye but I'm not sure if it would be a good idea.
