When the original manufacturer recertifies these drives, the power-on hours counter is reset to 0.
After we receive them, we run our own additional burn-in testing, so you should expect to see only minimal hours on a recertified drive, typically just what’s accumulated during our testing process.
The drives are recertified by the manufacturer (e.g., Seagate), not in-house by us.
