So I bought another one, supposed to be new, and it has these weird stickers. I've never seen this before.

The top ''covering'' sticker is really thick and hard to remove. To the point that is seems like it was specifically used to block out the lower one. I had to semi-remove the top sticker to even be able to read it. So I'm wondering if something sketchy is going on like them selling me a refurbished drive.

Some concerns:

  • It says RMA: with a QR code. Does that mean that it is already rma'd once or that it is for if I RMA. And why would it be blocked out if it was the latter.

  • Has anyone seen this before? It seems so weird to me.
