Can you compare the labelling with a similar WD drive? There have been issues with old drives being sold as new after "editing" S/N and dates, and drives that fail quality controls somehow escaping the shredder. Excerpts from <https://www.westerndigital.com/support/store/warranty-policy >: If your Product was purchased as a component integrated within a system by a system manufacturer, no limited warranty is provided by WD. Please contact the place of purchase or the system manufacturer directly for warranty service Recertified Products WD recertified products may consist of customer return units and may be repaired. All products are tested and determined to meet WD's stringent quality standards before they are sold as recertified. Please note that some recertified items may have marks, scratches, or other slight signs of wear. Recertified product purchases made on the WD Store website: Prior to August 20, 2019, carry a manufacturer's limited warranty of 6 months. On or after August 20, 2019, carry a manufacturer's limited warranty of 12 months. -- George N. White III
