Product Labels

Greetings everyone,

 

I'm looking at buying a replacement hard drive for my laptop.  I found a new one on the internet that states "Green Label, Seagate replacement drive". 

 

What does that mean? 

 

Is it a bad choice because it has a green label?  or  Does it mean that it will replace the original  because the original is no longer available?  or  Is it viewed as just an up-grade?

 

Has anyone else run into this before?

Re: Product Labels

AFAICT, "Green Label" drives are recertified, aka refurbished or "certified repaired".
