A little off-topic.but then I wouldn't deal with those known sellers that wipe SMART data and sell drives as "new - other" either.
I'm really curious: is it possible to get to know that SMART data was wiped? I've just got a bunch of relatively cheap SSDs (via BO with pretty big discount) and all of them have SMART like this:
The listing had 'New - other' state and the seller has more than a year old account but 10 stars only, all positive feedback, one positive review about the same drive.
So I'm wondering is it a deal or failure.
