So I am in need of a hard drive and found one online. It is an internal 4tb 3.5 and sellers states it was provided as a pkg along with 2 other hd's including a laptop and external hd from a recovery company. I am wondering, first is there any concern if there is a red sticker on front and back with what appears to be a barcode, and secondly if an older desktop would have any trouble with a drive of this capacity. Maybe dumb ? But just wondering. Thanks

$50, 4TB, from a 'recovery company', with weird stickers on it.

No warranty.
How many times has it been dropped?
How many running hours does it have?

No idea until the $50 is spent and gone.

Unless it is $10 or less, why are you considering a used hard drive?

Glad I asked. It is listed at around $50.00 and is supposedly like new, not sure if even used. I know that a new one is much more expensive so I thought price seemed good for a 4 TB HD. Thanks
