"It's crazy to me that rsync.net is buying mission-critical enterprise drives on Amazon."

We don't.

"At rsync.net we have trusted suppliers with verified supply chains and a long history of providing reliable service."

...

"However, from time to time, it is expedient to purchase parts from Amazon - something we do with care and suspicion."

... and that care and suspicion takes the form of physical and logical inspections and extended part burn-in.

As you can see, this QC process caught these mis-labeled parts.
