I'm still considering returning for refund, since I didn't intend to buy a used device for the price paid. AFAIK, the 3 year OEM warranty such Kingston device should have is probably void as to Kingston, while its Newegg Marketplace vendor I never heard of before might not even exist 3 years from now. Newegg proper has an apparently brand new Crucial for the same price.
it's probably a client return. But you should better have a new one, for sure :-(
Very probably.
I often buy such product, but sold as second hand and with lower price
But in this case the vendor lied. It is possible to find out how much used is that disk. Run this: Telcontar:~ # smartctl -A /dev/sde | grep -i hours 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 099 099 000 Old_age Always - 2986 Telcontar:~ # Mine has 2986 hours of use. Or display it all, there are interesting parameters: Telcontar:~ # smartctl -A /dev/sde smartctl 6.5 2016-05-07 r4318 [x86_64-linux-4.4.126-48-default] (SUSE RPM) Copyright (C) 2002-16, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART Attributes Data Structure revision number: 1 Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 100 100 010 Pre-fail Always - 0 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 099 099 000 Old_age Always - 2986 12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 099 099 000 Old_age Always - 287 177 Wear_Leveling_Count 0x0013 099 099 000 Pre-fail Always - 7 179 Used_Rsvd_Blk_Cnt_Tot 0x0013 100 100 010 Pre-fail Always - 0 181 Program_Fail_Cnt_Total 0x0032 100 100 010 Old_age Always - 0 182 Erase_Fail_Count_Total 0x0032 100 100 010 Old_age Always - 0 183 Runtime_Bad_Block 0x0013 100 100 010 Pre-fail Always - 0 187 Uncorrectable_Error_Cnt 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0032 073 060 000 Old_age Always - 27 195 ECC_Error_Rate 0x001a 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 199 CRC_Error_Count 0x003e 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 235 POR_Recovery_Count 0x0012 099 099 000 Old_age Always - 13 241 Total_LBAs_Written 0x0032 099 099 000 Old_age Always - 4356147880 The last tells how may sectors were written.
