Agreed. A few times I've purchased third-party disks and found (via SMART data) that the drives were well used despite not being sold as such.
- chiph 10y agoJust bought some drives that were fulfilled via Amazon (but not sold by Amazon.com LLC themselves). You've given me something to check when they arrive.
- sigstoat 10y agoJust returned a "new" drive with 31k power on hours. I should've known when the drive wasn't in a standard WD antistatic bag.
