There’s a great deal on a drive from Amazon Warehouse, but I’m a bit concerned about the quality of the drive and the fact I can’t return it.

Anybody have any experience buying something like this?

    Never ever buy amazon refurbished/warehouse deals on hard drives. There are absolutely zero standards for processing the return. They get thrown into standard polybags and dropped into plastic totes that ride around on conveyor bars on the way to the guy whose job it is to put it in the standard hard disk “safety” packaging for WHD. Absolutely no anti static insulation, no impact protection whatsoever unless the customer returning the thing decided to pack it nicely (they never do).
