A major scandal has emerged involving used Seagate hard drives falsely marketed as new, with evidence linking them to Chinese cryptocurrency mining operations. These drives, which had seen significant prior use, were tampered with to reset usage logs before being sold in various countries, including Europe and Australia. Despite Seagate’s assurance that these drives did not come from their distribution channels, concerns about supply chain integrity have arisen. Retailers are responding differently, with some offering refunds while others verify affected drives before compensation. Seagate is actively investigating the matter and encourages affected consumers to report issues directly.
What measures do you think retailers should implement to ensure the authenticity of their hardware sales?
