When I bought some of these earlier this year, the re-seller included an adapter that blocked those pins to prevent the reset issue. Didn't know what they were for at first and almost tossed them. (I should have read the included slip of paper)
As someone who regularly ships items with a slip of paper meant to be read, this was infuriating to read. Lmao
Classic overconfidence - “I have installed a hard drive before, what could they possibly be trying to tell me on that paper?”
I learned and won’t make that mistake again… until I do
Tape it to the item.
Witg a big fat warning symbol.
Anything beyond that was done in purpose
When you’re shipping one item, sure... kinda. When you’re shipping five, it doesn’t make sense to tape the exact same thing to every single one. Especially if the paper is bigger than the item.
We typically affix it to the invoice and package so it’s seen first thing. That’s the best solution we’ve come up with.
