I have a NAS that holds four drives. If I upgrade 8TB drives for 16TB drives, I would have no further use for the 8TB drives. I also don't have half-TB drives lying around.
sure, but if you are a scammer then selling the 8T for at least 100$ and picking one for basically free would net you more profit.
maybe it was somebody that did not think he does something wrong because "amazon is big and will eat the cost"
Huh, honestly it'd be "cleverer" to find a broken drive (that the OS wouln't even detect) and swap it into the enclosure. Then the thief can say it was defective, or the next buyer would, and there would be less of a chance of an investigation/change of policy.
