Did I get ripped off? Anonymous 2017-09-02 07:54:22 Post No. 62211721 [Report]

A couple of years ago I bought a new external 3,5'' HDD, Western Digital, 1,5TB. I have been using it exclusively as a back-up drive, that is whenever I had accumulated enough new porn, uh, I mean books and movies, on my laptop I took the HDD out of the closet and saved the new stuff. Very rarely have I used it to watch a movie, but I would have estimated total runtime at a low triple digit number, maybe 300 hours or less. Today I checked the HDD with Crystal Disk Info and it shows more than 10.700 hours of runtime and several yellow warning dots ... all while it has been switched on only 85 times. The latter number is entirely consistent with my mode of use and my best guesses, but not 10.700 hours of runtime!!! WTF!? Did I get ripped off? Is it a worn out server farm HDD stuffed into a new plastic shell? As far as I can remember I bought it at one of the largest electronics retail stores here in Germany (Media Markt), so no shady ebay stuff. Can anybody explain this?

You probably bought a restocked item, someone used it and returned it.

You should have checked this.

not OP, but that's unlikely.
the plastic parts of mine had an imprint of the production date about half a year ago at that time.
I replaced the HDD at that time.
best of all, the retailer jewed my
>no that can't be, that's no the drive that came with it, yadda yadda
