    Intel 330 SSD cosmetic damage? Is this normal?

    Actually, the picture makes it look worse than it really is. The SATA power and data connectors are barely scuffed. Regardless, I've already tested the drive, and everything seems OK. This is my first SSD, so like you, I was put off by the "refurb" look. Only other issue is the SMART...
