Armed with 6.1 I can confidently buy pre-owned (which apparently is the new name for "used") disks.
They are much cheaper than new ones, but of course you never know what state they're in.
So, I let 6.1 loose on them and good enough for SR is good enough for me.
The few times SR reported that a disk has problems, I've just returned it immediately.
Since used disks have very limited warranties (usually around 3 months), early detection of issues is crucial.
I figure this routine has saved me hundreds of Euro thus far.
