I was shopping in the 3.5" drives at newegg IIRC, 2T was the biggest, and my
3rd woof died in 2020, and those were bought after she passed, sometime in
2021 or 2022. For $129/copy IIRC. They both just disappeared off the end of
a sata-iii cable within 36 hours of each other with only 2 weeks spin time
on them.. NOS for sure, marked as made in 2014, so they were at least 7
damned years on somebody's shelf when I bought the pair of them. But it took
I've never seen newegg sell "new" stock that's that old (in terms of
manufactured date) . Sounds like you bought "used" stock off their
marketplace ...
That is possible, but they looked pristine.
