Is A ReDrive Refurbished Hard Disk The Way to Go?

Updated: Mar 2

Exploring the Benefits of ReDrive New Hard Disks vs Refurbished Hard Disks


The ReDrive store is now open and we are looking forward to getting in a load of hard drives, giving them some TLC and putting them back out there for some further years of usefulness!


We've also teamed up with certified distributors to bring you a range of brand new products too!


The technical aspects of a hard drive is something we find fascinating. The first hard drive was manufactured by IBM back in 1956. It was huge and had to be transported in the hold of an aircraft! It could hold 3.75MB of data which means you would need five million three hundred thirty-three thousand, three hundred thirty-three of them (phew!) to match the capacity of a 3.5" 20TB hard drive of today. The power of technological advancement is clear and capacity has increased exponetially, whilst reducing considerably in size.


Here at ReDrive, we will continue to celebrate this amazing technology in our blogs and strive to provide a shop-front where you can be assured of excellent both new and second-hand data storage products, backed by our no-quibble 1 year warranty. Refurbished products can be cheaper and have a useful service life of many years to come. Brand new items are fresh from the production line and often come with an extended manufacturer warranty.


Why not upgrade your digital life with ReDrive and look out for our future blog posts - lots coming about hard drives, data storage, SSD's, hard drive history and some hints and tips for safeguarding your data too!
