Review on 8TB Seagate Backup Plus Hub Desktop Hard Drive with Data Recovery Services by Abhey Vohra ᠌

For a very long time, I've been thinking about expanding the storage capabilities of my 4-disk Synology NAS. At the time of purchase on March 23, 2022, an external hard drive with a capacity of 8 TB from the Seagate Backup Plus Hub STEL8000200 cost 14,990 from the Amazon shop, while a separate drive with the same capacity from the Seagate Barracuda ST8000DM004 was priced at 17,390 for a share (18,590 without it). I went with the less expensive option so that I could remove the disk from the case at a later time (I was aware of the possibility of voiding the warranty, but since this is not the first time I have purchased disks from Seagate, the price was the deciding factor, and if it works right away, there should be no other issues). I examined the box as I was checking out at the register. The box did not have a factory film on it, but it did have a sticker that was branded with the Seagate logo. This gave me complete peace of mind, and I did not check the disk (1 mistake). After bringing it home, I opened the package, and when I looked inside the box that contained the external disk in the film, nothing stood out to me. After connecting it to a laptop, the disk was promptly recognized, and its capacity was shown to be 8 terabytes; however, I did not use all 8 terabytes of its storage space nor did I test the disk using a variety of applications (error 2). After opening the case with extreme caution, I made the decision to put the disk in the network storage. After opening the case, I saw that within it was a disk that was very scratched, very light, and had identification stickers that had been torn off. After installing it in the storage and initializing it, the operating system for the network storage stated that it had approximately 150 GB! After removing the disk and reconnecting it to both the case and Windows, and then formatting the drive, the system reported that it had 160 GB available. As I turned to the Internet, I discovered that I was not nearly as unique as I had previously believed. I immediately sent an email to Amazon, registered application number 4763948, informing them of the situation. The following day, I was contacted by a leading specialist in the loyalty group for working with appeals. After sending me a photo, he gave the answer, which was, "in this case, the return of the goods is not possible due to a violation of warranty obligations." I would like to bring your attention to the fact that a UNKNOWN DISC WAS INSTALLED INTO THE CASE AND SOLD AS A NEW DISK, which can be understood to be FRAUDULENT. I don't understand why people keep telling me I'm writing in the incorrect topic; it seems like the same pattern keeps emerging with this one particular model.
