Last time, we took a closer look at some of the most common myths about refurbished servers and hardware. If you missed it, here is a brief recap:

Myth #1: Refurbished servers are damaged or defective: In reality, refurbished servers are those that have been gently used by businesses and organizations that have since been replaced due to company IT standards. They still have miles to burn before they are no longer useful.

Myth #2: Refurbished servers are unreliable: Most hardware refurbishing companies test and retest their hardware before putting it up for sale. This means that, in general, refurbished servers will be more reliable.

Today we will continue by taking a look at two more of the most common myths about refurbished hardware and busting them.

Myth #3: Refurbished hardware isn’t covered by warranty.

It is understandable why this myth prevails because it makes some logical sense. However, most refurbishing companies DO offer warranties on their products. For instance, Serverworlds offers a 30-day base warranty on all of our products. To learn more about our warranty, click here. It is also worth noting that most refurbished hardware can be eligible for some third party warranty agreements.

Myth #4: Refurbished servers have a short lifespan.

People often assume that because refurbished servers have been used before, that they will be unable to last for more than a couple years. But it is important to keep in mind that the equipment we are working with tends to be commercial grade, which means that it is designed to last and to handle heavy workloads. If the server is maintained properly, it should be able to give 3-5 years without difficulty.
