- rsync.net purchased SSDs from Maestro Technology advertised as new but found them to be used with significant wear.
- The SSDs had high Power_On_Hours (22,865 and 22,663) and other signs of prior use, contrary to being sold as new.
- Using these SSDs in a ZFS 'special' metadata device could have led to catastrophic data loss due to their diminished lifespan.
- rsync.net returned the SSDs and documented the issue to warn others about Maestro Technology's practices.
- Other reports confirm similar deceptive practices by Maestro Technology, reinforcing the need for caution when purchasing from them.
