Looking to upgrade my backup drive from 3TB to 6TB and use the 3TB drive (old backup drive) to upgrade my 2TB Data drive. The data drive are 2 1TB hard drives with the partition spanned across both drives. I want to consolidate this on a dedicated drive that's not using 2 1TB hard drives.

I found a Western Digital Datacenter/Enterprise Hard drive for around $150 on ebay. The condition is Recertified by WD. Would you take a chance on this or would you look for something else?

I wouldn't personally, but that's up to you. I'd rather have a 5 year warranty than a 90 day or 1 year warranty on a hard drive. No warranty can guarantee that data loss won't occur, but at least I'd feel better knowing I have a new drive that will last awhile guaranteed.

Looking at Backblaze's reviews, I'd never buy any enterprise-level HDDs second-hand.

Do you have a link?

Ill be willing to look at other Hard Drives, I just don't want no WD Green or Eco Junk.

Newegg has 6TB WD Gold HDDs for $239.99 if you wanted it. 5 year warranty is well worth it.

I have being using WD Green, Blue and Red series for some time. Reds are great for NAS applications. Through, you have to always make sure that you have vibration free, low temperature, stable power environment.
