F.A.Q. Frequently Asked Questions
(These answers are under copyright law, anyone copyingany portion of this ad or these questionsand using for ebay ads or other personal or commercial use will be persued legally.)

Q. What does manufacturer recertified mean?

A. The word "recertified" is the term the manufacturer uses to describe product that was returned in a retail setting, such as Costco or Best Buy, and then run through a battery of tests, any defective parts are replaced to confirm full drive fitness.Buying recertified is a great way to reduce needless waste and increase your contribution to saving the earth by reducing landfill

e-waste.Recertified is the smart, community, earth conscious way to go!

These recertified drives have the same low failure rate that brand new drives have. That being said, we recommend backing up importand documents to TWO SEPARATE devices (ie: this external drive and also CD or DVD). This is what we do here in our office to ensure no irreplaceable files are ever lost in case of drive failure.

Q. Do you combine shipping charges?

A. Unless combined shipping charges are listed in the particular auctions you are purchasing, we do not combine shipping charges. This does not mean that multiple item orders will be shipped separately. Packaging of shipments to one customer, even on multiple item orders, is at the discretion of the seller. We do not offer shipping refundsif you payseparate shipping fees and receive your orders in one box.

Q. My hard drive capacity is less than I expected?

A. All hard drive manufacturers use a slightly different yardstick of measurement than your computer does. The hardware industry measures disk capacity as 1GB equals 1,000,000,000 bytes.

Computers calculate disk drive capacity as 1GB equals 1,073,741,824 bytes.

If you take your hard drive size and divide it by 1074 rounding up you will get the approx. size in Gigabytes available on the computer. A quick way you canconfirm this is by checking your local hard drive capacity. If you have a 120GB hard drive locally it will show up as 111GB. A 30GB hard drive shows up as 27.8GB. Likewise a 500GB drive shows up as 465GB. etc. For more information on this visit www.wdc.com or www.maxtor.com or www.seagate.com.

Q. What does "plug & play" mean?

A. Plug and Play means you can plug the drive in while your computer is on, you don’t have to turn it off first. Plug and Play does not mean that the drive will automatically be ready to be used when you plug it in. Initial formatting and other basic steps may need to be taken before your drive is recognized by your computer.

Q. My hard drive doesn't seem to be working properly, what should I do?

A. Please contact Western Digital via the web at www.wdc.com or by phone at 800-275-4932 for technical support and they can help you determine what the issue may be. They manufactur this product, and your warranty is direct with them.If they determine the drive is DOA or non-functioning you can arrange to swap it out with them for a replacement. You also have the option, if you are within the first 30 days of purchase from us,to send us an ebay message with your Western Digital case number we will verify your case number and arrange an exchange for you. You must obtain a WD case number prior to contacting us for a return or exchange.

Q. Does this drive need to be formatted?

A. These drives come preformatted from the factory in the FAT32 file system. This is compatible with both Mac and PC, but will not necessarily be auto-recognized by a PC when plugged in. We recommend reformatting the drive in theNTFS file systemfor optimal use on a Windows-based PC. Reformatting the drive is an easy and quick process that you can perform yourself when you plug in the drive the first time.

Q. Why don't you ship internationally?

A. Currently we do not ship outside of the USA and its territories due to tracking and customs issues.

Q. Will this item be compatible with my computer?

A. Check with your computer system manufacturer for compatibility guarantees. However, this device is widely compatible with standard PC and Mac systems running Windows XP, Vistaand Mac OSX or newer.

Q. I live in California, why do I have to pay sales tax?

A. We ship from California, and are required by law to charge tax to all orders that ship to California customers.

Q. I sent payment, when will my order ship?

A. We ship almost all orders within 1 to 2 business days of receiving payment. We do not ship on weekends or major holidays. Some orders take up to 3 to 5 business days to ship.
