Hi everyone...
I bought a Seagate IronWolf HD on eBay two years ago. The seller said it was new, unopened. It was factory sealed. I decided to sell it last month. The buyer said it had over 1700 hours on it. I refunded his money. He sent it back. I tested it. It was unformatted! I had to format it to test it myself. It does have over 1700 hours on it! How is any of that possible???
I appreciate any facts or insights you might have. Thank You.
