Tbh its not a bad call. Used to work somewhere that bought hundreds of 500gb SATA SSDs for laptop upgrades that just... sat on a shelf, because none of the new laptops ordered could even take a SATA drive. Hell, they're Crucial branded so they're probably collectable if micron keeps crucial dead for long enough.

    That sucks. They probably could give them out to employees as a little bonus thing. Build a bit of goodwill. Rather than have them sit on a shelf.

    Government. Ain't nobody want to get caught "stealing" from the government (they're probably going to be destroyed ten years after they're completely obsolete). Waste of damn near a hundred terabytes of storage.

    And then most people won't know what to do with it, possibly flooding the helpdesk with requests.
