Does anyone here seriously think that a warehouse picker (i used to be one) gives two shits about what they are picking? They are probably young, cheap labor.
Also, I may just be this naive, but why is this such a big deal? I'm sure this happens all the time in a wide variety of industries. The bottom line is Newegg shipped fake drives and is fixing the problem. As to the "demo units" fiasco, what if Newegg didn't even have any of the item left in house to inspect after the initial claims came in? They get a couple phone calls from end consumers, and take a stab at a viable excuse. Happens all the time..
Just because you were a warehouse picker and didn't give a crap about your job doesn't mean that should be the norm...
