I bought an HGST 3TB last year; why the S.M.A.R.T came zeroed?! (zerobytes.monster)

1st post here, and I didn't found any info about this behavior unless is a recertified drive. How to zero fill a s.m.a.r.t from a drive and why someone would do that? It was used, the antistatic bag came with a generic one reading "www.straton.com" with a batch number reading 1223.

The seller didn't say it was used, which increased my doubts even more.

The question now is, is straton safe? Do you have any experience with them?
