Today i got my replaced seagate 400GB hard disk, as i send it for replacement due to bad sector. But i saw the disk is not a brand new disk. They have mentioned "certified Repaired Disk". What does it mena. Is it second Hand disk, or they send my disk back to again after replacement. Can i trust on this disk?

No, that is not my original HDD, Its front sticker is different, where they mention "certified disk". . S/N is also different . My disk was only 6 month old, and i don't know whatever they given, how much reliable .
