ROBERT ELECTRONICS Opiniones 267

This is my first time buying from this company, so far it has been a wonderful experience. The drive came relatively quickly and was well packaged, with the drive well protected from bumps. I have added it to the one in my NAS. I don't see any difference in noise from the one I bought from Curry's PC. Everything is working well. It took Ugreen almost 18 hours to repair the RAID. This is a good indication that the Hard drive is working well.

I was initially a little cautious. We've all been taught "if its too good to be true, it probably is" but I did a little research and thought I'd give it a go (ordering on the credit card so I had protection if there was a problem).

I ordered four 12TB refurbished Seagate Ironwolf Pro drives. They arrived just under two weeks after ordering as they had to be shipped from abroad. All four drives were packaged in what appeared to be the original manufacturer's anti-static bags, still sealed. Each drive was completely encased in thick foam and secured inside a cardboard box with no movement. This was completely wrapped in watertight plastic. I honestly don't think I've ever seen packing this good!

I checked all the drives over before putting them in my NAS. There were no marks in the slightest on the drives, not even slight scratching on the SATA ports leading me to believe they'd never been used. I put the drives in to my NAS and ran a SMART check which showed that all the drives had 0hrs power-on time. They were clearly brand new but likely old stock. All but one were still in the manufacturer's warranty and Robert Electronics provides an additional warranty - given their quality packing and reliable service, I believe they will honour this but I am yet to test it.

All four drives were added to a RaidZ1 (ZFS) array and perform absolutely exceptionally! Drive speeds aren't an issue and storage appears to be spot on (I've got about 8TB already loaded on the drives) - these are definitely genuine drives.

Contrary to my initial hesitations, I am absolutely over the moon with my purchase and have already recommended friends to purchase their drives here. I will certainly be buying future drives and any replacements through this company. The UK has a shortage of refurbished drives compared to markets like the US, it seems that Robert Electronics has found their niche hence the excellent pricing and service.

Great service yet again, actually even better than expected. Ordered used grade a 10TB Seagate on Sunday, it was posted in UK Manchester on Sunday and arrived in the Highlands on Tuesday. Drive is a 2023 drive with a couple of hours on it (and verified). Thank you once again.

I bought a '(used)Grade A' HDD for a very good price - but it was new in the unopened packet - amazing value.

Have used Robert Electronics several times now.
They provide a reliable service with products at a great price. Highly Recommended.

Excellent. Fast delivery, product exactly as described and the price was superb. Recommended.

The best product for my needs was easy to find from the detailed information on the web site. The product arrived within the projected delivery time frame. However, I didn't receive any tracking information updates, but I didn't look on the supplier order page either.
The price I paid for refurbished units was a considerable saving over buying new. The 5 year warranty from RCH ltd is very reassuring.
The only issue I had is that the new drives only have two fixing holes each side whereas the older drives had three holes. Thus I had to improvise the fixing to the NAS housing. I housing is designed to use the front and centre mounting holes and not the front and rear fixing holes that the new drives have.

Ordered 2 12tb 'like new' HDDs, I got sent 2x14tb HDDs with 4 years of warranty on them till. Delivery took about 10 working days.

Amazing company, will definitely be ordering from here again.

Item exactly as described and working perfectly. Can't be beaten on price.

Great price and great quality for 16tb HDD 0 hours use is showing on the harddrive, Customer service was excellent to deal with, will be buying another drive soon to add to my media centre

Fast delivery, given it came from overseas, total time from order placed to receiving 2 x 16TB Exos drives was 8 days. The drives were very well packaged. I am using Unraid and unfortunately the drives were not recognised by either my regular PC or the unraid server. However as previous people have commented it just requires isolate the 3.3v on the sata. There are a number of ways to do this such as taping the pin, but I preferred to order a sata power splitter cable and remove the 3.3v wire (if you have a modular PSU you can make the change direct to one of the sata cables - google sata 3.3v removal) and it works like a charm and avoids me risking damaging any of the pins by applying tape. I'm currently 30% through a pre-clear test so will update this if any issues, but ran the SMART quick test initially and no issues found. Thoroughly recommended !

Cannot recommend highly enough. Excellent value and the quality of the disks that arrived were above and beyond my expectations (extended SMART test performed). The packaging of the disks was very secure which ensured a safe delivery. Will be using again.

Amazing! Quick and easy with great products! Very happy.

I am disappointed. I understand the risk and reason of buying used HDD but this is a bit of a joke I think. My drive that came today has 60000 hours used on it.
The drive arrived in good time, well packaged and does work as intended.

Second purchase from Robert Electronics and this time I got 2 x 14TB Ironwolf Pro drives that look like new sealed (USED SMART data reset 0 full tested) and come with an RMA 5 years warranty.

No issues with the drives I purchased back in January, and these drives also seem to be working well.

An excellent price and delivery was within the stated time and packaged well.

Thanks!

Thought the website was sus at first but no. Drive showed up quicker than expected and as described. New condition with no smart errors. Can’t beat the price either. Would definitely buy again.

Prompt delivery and goods as described

Speedy delivery. Well packaged. Drives are good condition. Running multiple read & writes to the disks before they are incorporated into my server. All good so far.
