Hey long shot but I did end up buying one with a year of manufacturer warranty still available and was wondering if you went through the process of getting a replacement from WD (the manufacturer of my drive) that was brought from eBay? I made a new post but couldn't get answers and I just got a couple of questions.

I actually never brought something from Facebook but I'll take a look at it. Appreciate it.

Yeah I'm guessing this is the easiest option to just get my money back. Appreciate it and I'll update the post with what I go with. I already have another drive that I tested and works so I'm not desperate for now.

Honestly I have no clue. My train of thought was if you could register it, which I havent tested, then the warranty could work. Was kinda hoping someone here or in the original post went through my situation and could clairfy things.

The tagginator makes a comeback. I missed you, buddy.

Appreciate it, I'm fairly new to Lemmy so I wasn't sure what communities are available.

Were they all from the same seller?

[–] ponchow8NC@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Really appreciate it they actually also have an eBay store which I've been stalking religiously I'm just waiting for a lower capacity drive, 8-10tb is my realistic sweet spot. In the meantime I'm just browsing and looking at other well known sellers.

You reassured me thank you. Was straight up looking at 10tb hgst drives but was hesitant. I'll still check out other drives that have manufacturer warranties on them but its nice to know I can fall back on my old plan if I don't find a good deal.

I'm a little dumb and late to this so please forgive me if this is not a good question, but can you not develop an app under a pseudonym or any other way to protect your identity or was this like they tracked each dev down, got their info and legally threatened them?

Edit: I'm referring to Tachiyomi I forgot to mention that

Look at the Samsung "a" series of phones they should be around your price and have expandable storage AFAIK. I would go with the Samsung a54

Might be stupid to ask but how would you go about weeding out the bad sellers from the good ones when it comes to hard drives? Especially on secondhand markets like eBay and amazon
