I bought a WD Green NVME SSD off a seller on ebay who claimed it was brand new but the box was opened.
It arrived less than 45 minutes bfore this message was posted.
I unpacked it immediately it arrived put it in a new enclosure and formatted it.
I then ran Crystal Disk Info straight after the format had completed and it came up saying that the disk had had 5 power ups and 18 hours use.
Seller says he bought it from a reputable online seller and it's not been used...
The packet the drive came in has lots of sticky residue all over the front and you can see it forms the shape of a label that has obviously been removed and covered nearly the whole front of the box.
Drive also runs hotter at 47 degrees idling in an enclosure with a heat sink and silicon pads most of my other drives in similar enclosures are in the mid 30s - I suspect it's a refurbed or customer return drive
Is it normal for a brand new drive to have usage stats?
