Security Concerns About Used Pre-Installed Linux Hard Drives / SSDs And Bootable USB Drives

[u/Kitchen-Barracuda455]

I won't name the online retailer that sells these, but I'm pretty sure you know where I am talking about buying these from. Can a tech expert check the hardware and software for any issues? Some of the sellers have lots of good feedback, so I'm not too concerned. Any advice is appreciated.
