Seagate Drives denies it as a new associated with the old Chinese encryption mines

I used

A Hydrate The investigation discovered that solid -class drives can be used in the new SEAGATE, exported equipment from Chinese cryptocurrency farms that were deducted from Chia several years ago.

The investigation found that many of these engines – with between 15,000 and 50,000 hours of previous use – their internal records have been changed to look unused, a discovery that does not refute Seagate that SEAGATE assertion that the solid solid drives that were not bought from the channels that were not bought from the official Distributors.

During the peak of Chia’s popularity, the high demand for hard drives led to shortening and raising prices; However, with a decrease in mining profitability, many farms were closed and the market is overwhelmed with used engines.

Reports on hard drive engines now have emerged from more than 200 cases worldwide, including in Europe, Australia, Thailand and Japan, where fraudulent sales were discovered for the first time in January when the new Seagate Data Data Center engines were discovered that were supposed to be used in a way big .

Although the Drives smart parameters that usually follow the use-have been resets to hide their real erosion, a deeper analysis uses farm values ​​(reliability that can be accessed in the field) displays the actual operational history of engines. Seagate denies participation. I have launched an investigation and now provides a tool to determine whether it’s HDDs “new” or used.

The affected retailers adopt different curricula in response to the scandal. Some claim that the store nor its German suppliers realized that the drives of the tablets were not new, which indicates contact with them if they already found “new” drives “had already been used; For example, Galaxus has created an online auxiliary page, while Proshop provides free returns and replacement, Wortmann insists on checking hard drives before providing any compensation.

SEAGATE, which runs out itself from the issue, confirms that it distributes only real new engines and believes that the units used have been reselling as a new place in the secondary market before reaching customers.

Buyers interested in their purchases can check the date of the real HDD use because smart parameters can be unreliable.

According to TOM devices, the operating time can be determined by checking the farm values ​​using the Smartmontools version 7.4 or higher (via the matter: `Smartctl -Lf /Dev /SDA’) or Seatools Seagate. Seagate urged buyers affected by reporting any direct fraud in As it continues to be widely achieved.
