Hard drives can be a lot of fun!

I had an incoming wd 2500ks today,
not previously opened.
I opened up the lid and what did i see?
Some chinese writings (by hand) on top magnet and an X on the top of the head arm.
I don't really work with KS's but i find this very weird. The lid has not been opened before I am 100% sure.

Maybe a refurbished drive?

I thought of that, but shouldn't it be mentioned somewhere that it is a refurbished drive?

AIUI, refurbished WD drives have an "R" on the label.
The following example has an "R" appended to the date field:

It also says "recertified" on the label

None of these appear on this drive's sticker. I can scan it for you if you wish.
Well i should contact wd and tell them that if they want to have surprises stored in their drives, it 'd better be one with alcohol or...

@Vulcan,

I'll forgive that it makes fun of one of my favourite ST versions.
I didn't
quite end up with coffee coming out of my nose - but it was close!
I'll never think of facepalms in quite the same way again, thanks to you
