Bought what I thought were 4TB CMR WD Red drives on Black Friday from NewEgg.
Turns out the seller was in China and sent what I am pretty sure are counterfeit drives.
These things couldn't pass badblocks if their life depended on it.
They are throwing hundreds of errors in badblocks.
I'm going to give them till tomorrow afternoon Mountain time to refund my CC or I will be disputing the charge with my card provider.
This is partly on me for not investigating the seller closely before purchasing.
Be careful guys!
