You will receive this specific drive, identified in this listing as serial WD-WCC6Z2ZZA5T3.

This used drive is sold 'as is', with no warranty on its functionality. I do warrant that the testing described in this listing was actually performed on this specific drive and that the SMART output reproduced below is the output obtained from this drive. In general, SMART data can be erased or tampered with, for example to reset the reported powered-on hours to zero. I certify that I have not erased, reset, or otherwise tampered with this drive's SMART data, but I cannot certify that a previous owner has not done so.

Counters such as powered-on hours and power-cycle counts may differ slightly from the recorded output because the drive may have been powered on again between the time the SMART output was captured and packaging for shipment.

Recorded fio performance tests

These tests were performed over a USB interface. The demonstrated transfer speeds may be artificially limited by the USB 3 interface.
