Is there magic outside of Hogwarts? The Chinese boldly answer - yes, offering a couple of thousand fast SSDs for a dozen terabytes with any stickers to choose from. But what lies behind the fake Samsung and Kingston? How to determine that the capacities of such drives are overestimated by an order of magnitude? How to explain to AliExpress correctly that Xiaomi and WD never released these SSDs? We tell the whole ins and outs of Chinese rice and flash.

Probably the best and most explicit/honest video on fake products (in this case storage) from Chinese resellers I´ve seen on Youtube. No fuss, just how it is and works with the dispute process and all. Thumbs up!

i saw one of those "factories" in China few years ago. A friend working there said that apparently only about 10-30% of customers ask for a refund and since they are selling garbage(bought from major manufacturers the cheapest (grade c or worse = garbage) in wholesale) they would still make profit even if 90% of customers had to be refunded. biggest problem is that platforms(like ali mentioned in this video) keep shutting them down and they have to keep reopening new sellers accounts. There is a minimal risk of being busted by authorities but from his experience hes only ever heard of a few of these busts/raids in over a dozen years. So unless something changes i would not expect this problem to go away anytime soon - so just use your common sense(too good to be true rule) and make sure to buy wherever you can ask for a refund from a platform itself and not only from a seller(they might be gone by then with new name/account open)

Have had one of those 2TB 2.5" SATA SSD's. Complained to seller who did not listen. Opened dispute with Aliexpress and after some forth and back I got my money back, but Aliexpress did NOT acknowlegde the drive was fake. SHAME ON YOU ALIEXPRESS!

Thank you for sharing the video with the helpful information. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a scam last year when I purchased a solid-state drive that was supposed to be 1 TB. After installing it, my computer kept crashing, and I initially thought it was a software problem. However, after some time, I realized that the SSD was the root cause of the problem. I replaced it with a genuine SSD, and my computer has been working smoothly ever since.

Thank you for exposing these scams. Looks like avoiding Ali Express might be advisable!

I was going to buy a suspicious 1tb sata ssd on Ebay from a Chinese seller and I asked the seller if it was fake and he straight up told me they were. Some sellers will only tell you the truth if you pry for it, and even then they speak in a sort of riddle to avoid directly answering the question but they answer it non the less.

Many thanks for very descriptive video. I almost fell for a ssd, as there are many reviews with five stars. Either the reviewers are ignorant OR fake. You saved me good 30-40 USD and most of all, saved from the embarrassment.

You should never cheap out on storage. If you cannot afford an ssd from a good source, wait a little more or buy a good quality HDD, if you have this option.

Im so happy i saw your video and i can say that this sounds so right by the way the chinese sellers deal with sales and disputes being a buyer from AliE for more than 10 years, now i only buy low value stuff (cases, stickers, screen protectors) its not worth buying anything of value from AliE

Good job. Thank you very much for this recording. I just wanted to buy the M2 Drive on AliExpress because the price seemed attractive to me. I won't do it now. I added you to my subscriber list. Thank you again. Greetings from Poland

New sub here... Thanks for that Axoflash test info. I want to test and restore the original capacities of the fake sd cards and usb flash drives that's lying around here so I can still somewhat still use it for emulation of games.

I picked up a Beelink S12 Mini, which has pretty much identical specs to yours, in the after Christmas sales, and it's very impressive for what it is. I haven't tried gaming on it, but I installed Linux Mint LMDE and Plex on it and i swear it's doing a better job than the i5-3450 with Quadro P620 it'll be replacing when streaming 4K videos on Plex. It's not a huge upgrade, but the power draw should be considerably less.
