Reports from consumers, as well as investigations by ''Heise Online'',<ref name="heise-online-report" /> describe an issue where used and refurbished [[Seagate]] hard drives are being sold as new. Many buyers reported receiving drives with extensive prior usage, despite being marketed and priced as brand-new products. The issue appears to stem from deceptive practices by certain sellers, rather than Seagate itself, though questions remain regarding how these drives re-entered the supply chain. | Reports from consumers, as well as investigations by ''Heise Online'',<ref name="heise-online-report" /> describe an issue where used and refurbished [[Seagate]] hard drives are being sold as new.
