We all heard about seagate drives hitting the market with modified SMART values.
I recently bought a used 12tb ironwolf pro drive which i suspect is fake. SMART indicates 1 power on hour, FARM power on 36 hours.
Is it legit drive or fake drive?
I tried to study the fakes and how they can be recognised and it turns out those fake ones will not redirect to seagate verify page when scanning QR code, instead of chineese warrant check page.
My drives fails at authenticity check.
