You have to be fucking retarded to buy used hard drives.

this is classic scam tactics i bet tech illiterate will never check their purchase order before even confirming it
>>
I've been buying more hardware direct from the manufacturer recently.
>>
how is there no some sort of seller ID verification system so that when you buy thing from that source the seller is actually prosecuted

it just seems really easy, you have to put in your passport details to some website before they allow selling n shit
>>
>>107694623
Yes, but OP is some sort of "data security expert" and already knew that but did it anyway for his Twitter screenshot thread
>>
>>107694846
There is, you can see who sell you shit on respectable sites (amazon)
>>

>"my iFixit gear"
There's a sucker born every minute.

Data storage is so cheap that it makes no sense to not buy it directly from a manufacturer or from a reputable seller. Fucking silly normalfags, I swear.

Not counting the casing and the weight (never seen them personally) this is probably the most common eletronics scam. It's insane how easy it is to accidentally buy one of these sticks. You can usually get your money back.

>>107694989
Used enterprise drives are not the same as used externals that somebody has used for video games and jerking off to tranny porn.
>>
>>107695203
the reply was in regards to the quote
>You have to be fucking retarded to buy used hard drives.
none of this stipulated or implicated used externals, and neither does OP's xigger post.

go back to your tranny porn.

$50 20TB hard drive... what could go wrong?

Honestly these people deserve to get scammed.

>>107694533
what a great ad for your toolkit, gullible retards love them

>>107694533
>it open with my iFixit (tm) gear
