I bought one of the “128gb” flash drives from Amazon just for fun and checked it out on a test bed. It was a whopping 512mb! We have a fiber laser so I corrected the capacity and sent it back to Amazon :)

Hey, thanks for the shoutout! Yeah, the first time I dismantled one of these, I destroyed it beyond recognition!
I love your anti-scam content best of all. I'm going to link here from my video, because some people wanted to see some in-depth capacity/bandwidth testing that I didn't bother with in the recent video.

naming the D: drive "shewantsthe" is genius

Here's another scam I found - this time on Amazon. A low priced SSD drive turned out to be just the carrier ! The advert said it had 8TB storage, but the box when it arrived said it was just a container - and it was indeed an empty case.

1:46 What immediately hit my eye about that selection: the smallest size is 500 Go - gigaoctet. Why is an (allegedly) English company using the French term for gigabyte, only to then move on with (English) terabyte?

I just bought one of these with the same issue, why don’t we go after the people manufacturing and selling stuff like this? They need to be taught a lesson.

I bought one of these on Amazon last week. It was a 2TB model that was priced only a little less than a legit drive. It was the same 64GB chip inside. FYI the drive looked identical to yours in this video, but was a different brand.

Unfortunately, I got scammed by this fake things (but an USB drive, not an SSD drive), and it was apparently 128 gigs, until I used the drive for Android ROM backups, until all the recovery logs hangs at around 8,000 megs made me realise that the damn drive is just 8 gigs, realised this too late for a refund sadly :(

I saw a lot of this kind of thing on eBay recently and knew it had to be fake, but wondered how it all worked. You filled in the gap, thank you!

10:49 technical incompetency 🤣🤣

These are even on Amazon, they're everywhere now. I've also seen these as pendrives soldered to USB B/C ports.

The name of the flash drive was freaking hilarious! 😆

My grandpa got two of these (the only difference being that they were marked as 4TB) KNOWING it was a scam, only going through with buying it because it claimed to be on sale. I recently opened one of them up to find a (surprisingly fully functional) 64GB Micro SD card.

Thanks for what you're doing. Some of your commenters even open my eyes to situations I would have never thought of. But always remember:
Just because you're paranoid does not mean that they're not out to get you!

Your sarcasm is coming to life and dripping off my phone screen onto my hand! Weird things have been showing up on my hand now, and I wonder if that means your videos are 'growing on me'! 🤭
I've been enjoying your shows, and have oft wondered "That shit can't work!"
Thanks for validating my presumptions! 👍

I feel glad that you're spreading awareness of these fake hard drives. I knew these were too good to be true and luckily I bought one dirt cheap at a flea market so it didn't hurt me when I found out for myself the thing is a faulty scam. These things are a waste of plastic, metal, and electronic components. They shouldn't even be made and sold in the first place

I tested one of these types of scam drives. It was a 2TB “SSD”, with 200gb of actual capacity and 4MBps write speed. An IDE drive from 1997 is faster than that.

Thank you for the work you did on this!

I nearly choked on my Sunday morning coffee when you compared your skills to Linus. 🤣😂🙂
Remember back in the day (nearly 20 years ago) when it started with SD cards? I was extremely lucky to get an 8Gb card for a really cheap price and confirmed it with the H2testw program as a genuine 8Gb. After that the majority of the cards I got had immediate refunds given when I said they were fake. Even Amazon gave me immediate refunds. So always use the H2testw on new media to confirm the storage capacity.
