It`d be the same for most manufacturers.
Sometimes they have stuff returned that only had
`user problems`.
In that case, the unit would be thoroughly tested, and
re-issued.
More to the point, is whether you get a Full warranty
period.

If someone knows of a company that doesn't return a refurbished drive, I
would be interested. I've been buying primarily seagate and haven't had much
of a problem. ...just bought 4 $450 SAS drives and 1 went out just after the
period where I could return to the retailer for a replacement. Sent it to
seagate and had a new/refurbished unit in about 4-5 business days. ...wasn't
really happy about getting a refurbished drive in replacement for a drive
that was about 1 month old, but it is working well now.
