Beware of Recertified Hard Drives: At EWALL STORE, We Only Use New Drives

Recently, several articles have highlighted the integration of recertified hard drives in some NAS devices, particularly QNAP and Synology models. This issue mainly concerns Seagate EXOS drives, which, although presented as new, may actually be units that have been refurbished after prior use or a factory return.

At EWALL STORE, we want to reassure all our customers: we exclusively use new hard drives, sourced directly from manufacturers or authorized distributors.

Why Avoid Recertified Drives?

Recertified hard drives can present risks, including:

• Uncertain reliability: These drives have already been used and may have undergone significant mechanical or thermal stress.

• Shorter lifespan: Compared to new drives, recertified ones may have a reduced expected lifespan.

• Limited warranty: Manufacturers often offer a shorter warranty on these products.

Our Quality Commitment

We understand how crucial storage reliability is, whether for businesses or individuals. That’s why we guarantee our customers:

✔️ 100% new hard drives

✔️ Complete traceability from our suppliers

✔️ Rigorous testing before shipping

✔️ Full manufacturer warranty

How to Verify That Your Drive is New?

If you purchase a preconfigured NAS or a standalone hard drive, here are some useful checks:

• Check the serial number on the manufacturer’s website.

• Ensure the packaging is sealed and intact.

• Examine the drive’s SMART data to confirm it hasn’t been used before.

At EWALL STORE, transparency and trust are our priorities. You can confidently order your NAS and hard drives without worrying about unpleasant surprises with recertified drives.
