sort of kinda of remember. ad showed retail exos16 drive. what I received was most def OEM, though marked "recertified) the firmware was something that ended in like 002 and looked very generic. there were NO stats coming back from the drive really at all. Need to find the thread on this deal as I posted some info there and a kind soul posted (at the time) the latest exos 16 firmware.Do you remember what firmware they had before you flashed them?
I got 4 x16 that seem to be oem versions, serial numbers are not recognized by seagate and firmware version is "SB40" instead of "sn04"...
Also did you use the seagate tools for the "cross flash" or something else?
the vendor was VERY supportive though and a bit embarassed as they did not realize these were white label recertified drives. Ultimately I ended up helping them so they could flash the drives before selling them. They were also able to get updated firmware from seagate.
