I recently purchased two 2TB SanDisk Extreme portable SSDs directly from SanDisk, and I noticed that both boxes have white sticky labels covering the serial numbers and other data. Does this indicate that they are refurbished or returned stock?
I am unable to upload photos because whenever I try, a bunch of unreadable text appears in the post instead!
White stickers on your SanDisk SSD boxes don’t always mean they’re refurbished. They could be for tracking, packaging fixes, or distribution. Since you bought them from SanDisk, they should be new.
To check, use CrystalDiskInfo or SanDisk Dashboard to see power-on hours. If they show zero or very low usage, the drives are new.
For the photo issue, try resizing or using a different device.
