Return SSD after use?

Yeah, that’s the “Fernabsatzgesetz”. Since it is not possible to look at or touch the product with your own eyes when buying online and you cannot be able to do so before buying it, the legislator has created the “Fernabsatzgesetz”.

This means that you can return a product ordered by catalogue or online without giving reasons within 14 days and get the full purchase price refunded.

However, the product must be resaleable. So without traces of use, be completely present and in the original packaging. Exceptions are naturally hygiene-relevant goods such as underwear.

Amazon is usually very cunning when packaging.

But you have to be careful to delete your data thoroughly. Only formatting is not enough. The next buyer could recover the data if the one knows well with data storage.

When saving flash, so SSD and sticks should be checked first of all if the “real” are. Often small splitters are manipulated so that they display much more. Then you definitely have data loss when you write more than they can.

There is a very good tool for this:
