There is a seller on a known platform with lots of reviews and pictures where people put WD drives into their Steam consoles. The platform I already use. And there is some random website, popular on HN, no reviews, no pictures, nothing and they also sell WD drives. I never shopped on the latter since they mostly sell laptops but not Linux laptops. I trust Aliexpress vendor who sold 1715 drives for Steam console more than Framework. Unless you show me statement from WD that Framework is official reseller and WD JBL Global Sales Store not.

Have you even read your own link? The store's name is "JBL Global Sales Store". It has no WD in the name, or any proof that they are related to the company. In fact, it's only been in business for a bit over a year, so it's not like it has any weight behind its name. I'm just rolling on the floor at the idea that a random seller on AE is more reputable and trustworthy than Framework. One of Time's best inventions of 2021 or Fast Company's most innovative companies of 2022. That's rich. An OEM has extreme incentives to stock real products. Considering they have to support said products for years and deal with any negative PR when something goes wrong. A random AE seller which has a 75-day money back guarantee has no such incentive.

    It's meant to show they're not some no name random company like the GP claims, specifically: > And there is some random website, popular on HN, no reviews, no pictures, nothing and they also sell WD drives. I'm sure there are better ones to use but I just stole the ones used on Wikipedia because I was lazy and the argument as a whole is ludicrous.
