Agreed regarding Seagate's brand perception for consumer HDDs.

I would also not risk buying these refurbs, unless it was literally for something that I didn't care about.

In German the name has been used for a joke. "Sie geht oder sie geht nicht", it works or it doesn't work, sounds a lot like Seagate when you pronounce it German.
