Seagate bought Samsungs HDD division back in 2011.

Found the original source for the image and the date of manufacture on the HDD is 2015, well after Seagate acquired Samsung. Even has the website for seagate.com on it above the samsung logo.

 

So, no. Not as stupid as you might think.

Nah, it's still interesting if you ask me. You don't have to know all this stuff and the way they do it is bound to surprise some people.

Thanks for the info about Samsung's HDD division having been bought by Seagate, seem to have missed that piece of news. But back to the matter at hand, I suppose if Seagate had indeed used another supplier's HDD, they could still claim that "External HDD" can also be interpreted as saying "externally sourced HDD "
