I don't know if I'd trust a reconditioned hard drive.

mduell, thanks for that concise and immensely profound statement. I will truly treasure it. 
A reconditioned hard drive is very different from a reconditioned hard drive enclosure. Of course since the product is "reconditioned" it's unlikely that we might learn which is the case-if not both.
If it has a GOOD warranty and it's VERY cheap, I might go for it. But not for any crucial data. Scratch drive for video editing, maybe?

Any time, gh, any time.
90 days is not a good warranty.

Agreed, and that's not what we have here. Lacie used to be a fine Mac company. I suppose it just cannot compete in the modern Mac market.

I agree that buying a reconditioned drive is dumb, but I'd guess most of this stuff falls into two categories:
- Stuff was bought and returned in working order
- Stuff was defective in a straight forward easy to repair manner... (i.e. drive failed, replaced with new drive, etc)
I don't think I'd buy these for anything mission critical, but then again using any single drive for something mission critical is pretty stupid.
