Factory recertified drives are tested by the manufacturer at their factory using the same rigorous testing process as new drives.
These drives are returned to the manufacturer with a minor problem that is easy to rectify (FR WL - Factory Recertified White Label) or with no fault found (FR - Factory Recertified). The manufacturer then runs the drive through the same test process which is used for new drives.
