Re: Refurbished ssd?
I guess if the warranty is good but the warranty wont replace your data...

Re: Refurbished ssd?
I personally wouldn't buy a refurb SSD.. In fact I don't even like to use refurb HD's... I had RMA 4 seagate HD in the last yr and they sent me back refurbs... All of them are still sitting in my cabinet cuz i refuse to use them and won't sell them since there is a high chance of failure...
That is my personal take on it..

Re: Refurbished ssd?
That was my thought too, they'll replace the drive but they won't replace your data (not that they should or can)

Re: Refurbished ssd?
Jim instead of buying two SSDs, just go for a 480GB or 512GB SSD. To be very honest with you, I would save the cash, and buy the new Crucial M500 960GB for $600 once it's released.

Re: Refurbished ssd?
I've bought refurbished 1TB drives from WD, and Samsung and have never run into a problem with them, in fact their still being used.
What it comes down to, is which company you buy from, and how much they care about their reputation.
