replaced with new drives. Wow... I was also told by the online retailer this is known as a grey import and is not that uncommon..
Grey imports would not have been running for 87 days and power cycled 80 times in that period.
If the retailer doesn't refund your money then you need to escalate.
And name the retailer...
The retailer is certainly willing to refund and the manufacturer is also willing to replace.. The worrying part is that the drives that were replaced under warranty should *not* find there way back onto the shelves re-packaged as new enterprise class drives..
