They're seemingly no-brand, white label drives, but from reading about the guy on Reddit, the drives haven't really had any reports of failure. I have one on the way and will report when I get it, but if you're desperate for some extra storage space and short on cash, I'd give them a shot. https://www.ebay.com/itm/110898089121 While you're still here, Micro Center has some 250Gb refurbished WD drives for sale for the same price. If you'd rather something with brand recognition, maybe this will be more your speed. It's in store pickup only, but it seems like every location has at least a couple to sell. http://www.microcenter.com/product/485410/Assorted_250GB_7200RPM_SATA_III_6Gb-s_35_Desktop_Hard_Drives_Refurbished# 2 Link to comment
