If you are looking to get yourself more storage for your beloved PC or laptop, please do yourself a favor and buy your HDD from legitimate sellers such as official retailers or a trusted local dealer because chances are you might waste your money and time if you try to be a cheapskate during these trying times.
According to Back2Gaming, a surge of cheap HDDs is being enlisted on e-commerce websites such as Lazada and Shopee and you can easily find them by using the sorting function “From Low to High Price”. They are being labeled with impossibly low prices that could match the 2nd hand market alongside fitting descriptions and capacities that match official retail stores.
According to Back2Gaming, these hard drives that are mostly WD or Seagate and possibly some other less known brands are being repacked in anti-static bags to make them look like new units. And yes, hard disks do ship in just an anti-static bag and sold in stores as is. That is why e-commerce platforms have dedicated official channels as LazMall and Shopee Mall that are there to save you the hassle. You may get a double-layered warranty from both the platform and the seller as well.
Also, as a general rule of thumb, if it’s too good to be true – it probably is.
