    Yes, though it’s not an assumption, it’s based on the reputation of Seagate making new drives that fail quickly. I’ve made a point of emphasising this.

    Even if the drives were never used they’ve been shipped about a few places, so they will objectively not be as good as new drives, even movement is potential wear on spinning disks—the new drives that are already shit.

    I’m really sorry, but I’m not really sure how I can spell this out clearer than I already have.
