I recently purchased a used Western Digital Gold 22TB from eBay for about $250. It arrived DOA, but the drive was still under warranty. WD accepted my warranty replacement claim and after around a month they shipped out a replacement drive, which seems to be brand new. There's the retail label and no mention of "recertified".

I was expecting a recertified or refurbished drive as a warranty replacement, so I was a little surprised. Anyone else had a similar experience with Western Digital RMA replacements?
