I went through my ancestry last week with the hope I’d have something to grant me citizenship elsewhere. My dad’s side went back 6 generations and I still didn’t find anyone outside the US. My mother’s was 5 generations before I hit Austria and Germany.

Totally reasonable. I don’t shuck anymore, so I don’t have the concern of getting the wrong disk.

I’ve personally never had a problem with their returns before. But I haven’t had a doa disk out of their “renewed” internal disks yet.

Specifically the renewed drives sold by Amazon. They are the returned/refurbished drives. I’ve probably bought 10 or so in the last few years and that’s how they’ve all come. I haven’t had a failed drive out of them yet. (Seagate 22tb and WD reds 18tb)

Amazons renewed drives usually come well packaged. Antistatic bag, suspended inside very thick air pocket thing that completely encases the drive, inside a good cardboard box.
