Did your recertified WD have its original SMART information, or did WD erase it (I mean the SMART power-on hours, reallocated sectors count, on/off cycle count, not the sectors)? The company told me that they erased the SMART info, but they didn't recertify drives older than 27,000 hours.

Probably that's the amount of hours I've run it. So likely reset and they overlooked the temperature or made it intentionally non-resettable. Arno -- Arno Wagner, Dr. sc. techn., Dipl.
