Years ago WD sold a 808.8GB drive which reportedly contained two 500GB platters that had failed QC.

It always scares me when buying smaller than normal hard drives in that I am actually just buying drives that have failed QC.
Hope you never buy anything other than the fastest GPU and CPU for a given model :)
But they passed the 2nd QC check, so all good!
