Well if Is seagate reacts by locking down firmware, and deleting the resellers that knew they were getting non factory shipped equipment then this is fine. Part of the issue is the scale was so large some resellers didn't know, because they purchase from another larger stock company and rightly assume everything is factory original when ordering.

    The fault is the manufacturer selling tamper-friendly products.

    There are always going to be shady resellers but there is no reason a manufacturer should allow them to reset the counter for power on hours.
