My Series 3 original 250GB hard drive failed and I was feeling lazy so check to see what one would cost from WeaKnees. The prices on their site were more than I wanted to spend so I decided to see what was on ebay. Found that Weaknees was selling used replacement drives for what I thought was an acceptable price. They had a 1TB for $89.99 shipped I thought it was likely fairly new and pulled from a Roamio they sold with upgraded drives, so I took a chance.
I ordered the drive on 8/24 late day and is shipped on 8/25 and was here today 8/27 (came from CA and I am in rural western NY). So great service from Weaknees. However the drive was actually a 1.5 TB drive that had been manufactured in 2009.
Not sure where they pulled that from but I wouldn't have taken the chance on a 1.5TB as I would have assumed it was fairly old. The drive does have a 6 month warranty so I guess WeaKnees believes it is still good but 7 years is older than I would have thought reasonable to be reselling, guess I will find out.
Again nothing bad about WeaKnees, they were clearly selling a used drive and got it to me fast.
