Both Newegg and Amazon are hustling these at $60 -
(plus tax, -/+, roughly $70 to your door).

New Old Stock, purportedly. Whereas NewEgg is being interlocutor for
GoHardDRive, the warranty outfit, Amazon more or less correctly
absolves themselves by declaring itself -- disassociative. . . (Swirly
red lights flashing: 3rd-party Seller).

I'd read where the HDD SMART can be reset through a serial port
hot-jumper connections to a couple of pins. Then the HDD manufacturer
phased it out and corrected the leak: A HDD Shalt Not have its SMART
status reset and resold.

Which some would accuse GoHardDRive of doing, resetting pulls for new
on a NewEgg front.

NewEgg Flash Fishscale Sale. Knd of low and too bad NewEgg can't come
up with something better to think of to put on their front page, than
drives so old Seagate won't touch them with your bargepole.

(I can't get into NewEgg for a better look directly through my present
echo off Europe. Not that I want to after already looking over how
reseller angles are, at least first, prominently displayed from
Amazon.)

....or, just go over to Ebay and buy yourself a regular after-market
drive, directly out of a shop located in maybe Singaore, that says:

We only change plastic sticker from WD or WL. Major Drive for half
price!
