Authorized Kaleidescape Dealer
In addition to the CEO's comment above, I'll expand it a little by reminding people that Kaleidescape isn't taking your "failed drive" Terra or Strato and remanufacturing it by only replacing the drive. There are several parts they replace during remanufacturing to insure the component is as "new" as possible, including fan(s), etc., in addition to replacing parts that get removed during the process of removing the drive. The drives are not "open the case, swap the drive, close the case," the process is actually more complex because of all the screws and parts that have to be removed, and it's not hard to damage a board when doing that, and that's the reason those components are not field serviceable.
The full sized Terra server drives are much easier to change out, and those remain field serviceable.
So, there is no reason to be concerned about your purchase, you will have options after the new 5 year warranty expires.
