    Guessing this wasn’t in Europe. Consumer protection laws actually do stuff over here. Goods must be fit for purpose, and there’s no fixed limit for how long that is. A refund after two years wouldn’t be unreasonable for a hard drive and likely to succeed.

      wasn’t in the US New England area either, we have consumer protections that block that type of fraud here.
