Hi All,
I opened my girlsfriend's computer and case to get her hard drive she bought in a computer kit a year ago. I noticed that on the hard drive which is a Maxtor 20gig 7200 there's a small sticker with the following:
Tested and Serviced
to MAXTOR Specifications
***(some bar code)****
Model 52049H3DELL D1
15Feb2001
There's also a big Maxtor sticker with the following at the bottom:
Manuf:02OCT2000
War.End:JAN04
The store sold her this drive as a brand new one which has never been used even for testing.
The question is:
Is this a used one which broke down somewhere in the past before she bought the computer.
Got repaired and sealed again and sold as a new one by the store? I think so because i've had other Maxtor drives and i've never seen the tested and serviced sticker.
thanks for your help
