German Seagate customers say their ‘new’ hard drive used in real use – changed years in thousands of hours
German herset.de outlet says it may not find fraud after hearing from most readers who bought new Bitait hard drive, which has become so much used.
Last week, the publication Changed The experience of one of Hise.de readers, who said he bought a couple of 14TB Seagate Exos HDDs as a little odd. Drives have some small indicators of outdoor wear, but after a quick view of smart stats, everything is normal. However, later, the reader has a more fully field of reliable metrics of reliability (farms) and knows that a drive has already been used in 10,000 hours, and the other 15,000 hours.
Of course, he returned the shop’s drives he bought them from, an official Seagate retailer, and decided to replace it with two 16TB exoshs purchased from a different store. These drives also become heavily used: 22,000 hours are logged individually.
Although two HDD sellers, by Heise.de are recognized, expose drives are simple retail models, Seagate tells all four drive models. It means that the normal five-year warranty does not apply as the usual retail bought routines.
Initial dealer later stopped selling 14TB and 16TB HDDs at some point and still canceled an order he or she was born. According to the report, Seagate is to see how it happened, especially one of the dealers has endorsement of Corporation as an official vendor.
After this report, floods open, and more than fifty other heise.de readers As They have experienced exactly the same thing after buying apparently new Seagate HDDs. While 50 is a small sample size, the issue can be prevalent because they buy their drives in a dozen different retailers, where the Seagate officials “which-in-buy” list. Some of the affected vendors are too much, such as Amazon and mind.
Most readers report that there are 16TB exos drive, but others have a 12TB model, and some unemployed HDDs from 4TB. The time used from 15,000 to 36,000 hours other than two 4TB HDD, which are both in about 50,000 hours. Hise.de checked some drives out of charge to see if their warranties were lost, and most of the five-year warranty, which they were mainly made and sold by readers reporting acceptance A Seagate Drive used it bought this past few weeks, which means the issue is relatively recent.
It’s hard to imagine it’s a simple mix, not just because many dealers openly involve but also because of their smart stats new new. Although it is not perfectly clear when real cheating is happening here, something is definitely wrong.
We met with Seagate for comment but have not received an answer yet.
Seagate has a direct relationship with used hard drive. Almost a year ago, the company Launched an official eBay store selling fixed drives. it There is also a Hard Drive Circularity Program to find many modification-worth driving as possible, including exos models. However, this store is only sold in the US, so it is not as it is related to the current situation.
