fuck my ass, i think i found out what the issue is
Left is new one, right old one, completely different firmware, this made me check if it maybe was a firmware thing, so I went on the Seagate website to check for a newer one
And what I did find is, the model number is the same for both, ST16000NM001G, but the product number is different, 2KK103-703 for the old ones, 2KK103-003, which apparently are product number for shucked drives. Guess the USB hub I'm using is made to be compatible with shucked drives? Now I have no idea what to do, whether to keep them and tape them or send them back and buy new ones hoping for the best
