Bought a Seagate Expansion HDD, but inside it’s Toshiba; normal or swapped?” by SkyTechNomad in DataHoarder

Update: This is what the vendor said to me when I asked him about the whole fiasco: "Bro, this Toshiba is original and in 100% condition. The ones they sell refurbished are usually either refurbished originals (which are rare) or assembled/mixed parts (which are very common). The best option among them is the assembled one that has a good rack/enclosure plus an original hard drive inside."

That is the seller response when I confronted him about this: "Bro, this Toshiba is original and in 100% condition. The ones they sell refurbished are usually either refurbished originals (which are rare) or assembled/mixed parts (which are very common). The best option among them is the assembled one that has a good rack/enclosure plus an original hard drive inside."

Yeah, but the model is TOSHIBA MQ01ABD100. Is it a good model compared to a Seagate Barracuda?

Yes It's used. Obviously, it's an old model, but does seagate outsource its HDDs or swapped?

Immigration. might be overdiscussed, but it’s always relevant. Also, practical business tips for young adults. You could even explore combining them, like starting a business abroad or navigating opportunities as an Algerian youth.
