Question Could this SSD be second-hand ?

[lamyprid]

SSD model: TeamGroup MP44L

Do you think this SSD I got might be second hand?

I bought it brand new from the legit online shop, but when I checked it with CrystalDiskInfo it already has 200GB of writes but the power on hours is 0. What could that be, is that normal?

Could be factory test of drive working.

If it came in a sealed package, chances it being used is less. Unless whoever used it, factory sealed the package again. But then, they would've wiped the SMART data on it, back to 0, and not leave something lingering behind.

Obviously the drive was tested at the end of manufacturing cycle.
Why would manufacturer need to hide that by wiping smart values?

It was used for less than an hour. It's new.

This reminds me; even if one buys brand new car, the car's odometer isn't 0 either. Usually ~20km or so. (Driving it out of factory, driving it onto truck, off the truck, onto the ship, off the ship, onto the truck again, at dealership, off the tuck again and in dealership, into showroom or parking spot + some from test drives from potential buyers.)
