Oh wow I did not know that.
That's absolutely terrifying. Like resetting the speedometer for used cars.
You mean odometer, resetting the speedometer wouldn't be a bad thing.
Hang on, you don't typically buy your cars at 15Km/h?
Usually I buy them at a slower speed as I'm not in shape
You'd better hope that be pretty close to zero before attempting repairs.
That's why you run a couple rounds of preclear to stress them and then run a fresh smart report.

Amazon reseller for xbox drives was getting 10 year old dirty crusty drives and swapping the HD controller to a more recent one. So SMART report looked like a young drive. Xbox casing had a sticker or warranty void. So me being me wondered and opened it to find a dirty ass old drive inside. i called Amazon and initially they said it is outside of return window and warranty...But i explained it doesn't matter when I detected the fraud it is still fraud. So they gave me my money back
This has got me concerned, wondering how do you tell it's old if the controller is replaced? Are there serials or dates on the other parts or just obvious wear?
For the ones I had, the corrosion of the metal and stained labels was the give away (looked like they had been out on an autoshop repair bench), but each part had its own label dates. HDD was way older date than the controller board.
