On Aliexpress they sell used HDDS as if they were new they show good health and few hours of use on Crystal Disk Info what do they change to show this?

Do they also remove or change important 2.5" HDD functions like power management and other "features"?

He also posted on my forum - https://www.recoveryforce.com/forums/vi ... 3087#p3087

At the same time, he still keeps trying to comment on the parking thread, but I just keep refusing to let those posts through.
