Seagate Barracuda 3TB,Internal,7200 RPM,3.5" (ST3000DM001) Hard Drive - EBAY $39.99

The mods deleted original thread. Let's discuss here.

I just received tracking number from the seller and it's shipped from China.

Anybody know if it will be a brick inside? How can a HDD be fake?

thanks

Please don't ship it back if it is a brick inside or counterfeit. Paypal has new policy about counterfeit and your will get all refund without shipping it back.
