HDD buy in Aliexpress remove functions of features firmware?

[woodtoy]

I bought a 2.5" HDD on Aliexpress, I know this drive is used but it shows few hours of use and good health in CrystalDiskInfo. What do the Chinese change in the HDD to mask hours of use and true health?

Do they also original firmware change or remove important HDD functions such as head parking and drive power management?
