I ordered a 500 gb hdd but received the SATA III version instead (new). I had planned to return it but decided to keep it and now have it in a RAID configuration with a SATA II version. So for me it wasn't a used drive and therefore I can't tell you history. My understanding is that it is a 5 year warranty unless expressed otherwise. Hope that helps.

yes it was new. I believe it has a 1 year warranty. this one showed up on win 7 as two hard drives. 300 gig and then 100 mb. you have to go into disk management and change the partitions. its a good hard drive.

That's interesting. I just kept mine in a box, but that was fortunate because when the new drive failed they were able to retrieve my data (again) from my original drive. I would think a computer place that does repairs could help you.Sounds like a great idea, good luck.

It appears that the other hard drive has comparable specs. However it comes with a different firmware. Otherwise I think it is likely a matter of packaging and marketing.

The drive I purchased was new. Not sure about any warranty. That was 2 maybe 3 years ago.

My Hard drive was brand new. 2009 is year the drive was manufactured. According to the seller you get a 2 year warranty. You can also do what I did. I bought an additional 3 year warranty from squaretrade for about $4.

I'm not sure how that is true. Warranties run from when the drive is bought - if it is new. A used one would be a different thing.

I am not 100 % sure, but I think the hard drive gets cleaned up and they may even put a new hard drive in. I would write to the person who is selling a refurbished computer and ask him. He will be more accurate than me.

I ordered the 80g from Rakuton, it was shipped from Referbished PC and worked only two days. I am really not sure what the hard drive actually is.

Don't know, but the vendor is willing to work with you. Besides it is a brand new hard drive and I haven't had any problems.

It's SATA. I know this because I had to open mine up to extract the hard drive.Sadly.

this is a hard drive pulled from a external drive and then sold as new(no manufacturers warranty either) i would highly recommend getting the other one

This unit has a 1TB HDD. The 1GB listed is an error. A request has been made to have it corrected.

If the old drive worked I can see no reason why the new one wouldn't do the same. Make sure all your drivers are up to date. GK
