>I wonder if they limited the drive in software to 314gb and it's just a 500gb drive in reality.

You're probably getting a 500gb or 320gb drive with a lot of failed blocks that would normally be sold through their 're-certified' channel.

I'd stay away from these. Mechanical drives aren't like CPUs or flash media, where turning down the clock or just ignoring the bad blocks means they'll be fine. If there's an issue with spinning drives it probably means there's a larger mechanical issue that will only get worse or lead to an early failure.
