ITIX: so i guess your opening your hardrives before you buy them and touch the disk(s) inside and then if they spin good you actually buy them?
so what happened when you delivered back hdd's or any hardware which you opened and broke the seal?
Did they say, AAAAAH yes youre from "that" country...hey its ok , we know you didnt open the hardware as we take your word for it..
The stickers are put there as a note to make your brain realize you shouldnt break it/open/enter , so what does theese countries say when its a "WARNING DO NOT ENTER, RADIOACTIVITY bla bla"
anyway im off topic :-)
my point in the earlier post was, we can get the hw fixed if we want but as always people find it negative thus they failed to remeber the bppc/csppc scandal.
