Except they did stop that shady practice, so your original boycott doesn’t make sense anymore.

This is a completely different issue of other companies trying to sell fraudulent Seagate drives used in crypto mining farms as new. They are responding by shutting down sales until they can root them out.

This is why actually reading the article is important instead of “brand I don’t like bad”.
