- I don't know why, but I always assumed Amazon to be a better-curated marketplace than some of the other places, where I have seen fake flash storage for sale. I guess I was wrong.

That not smoke, thats STEAM! Steam from the steamed nand flash we're having! Mmm... steamed nand flash.
@@qwertykeyboard5901 well I'm from Albany and I've never heard of Steamed USBs, must be the aurora borealis
LET IT COOK
people seem to think the computer tests the volume everytime its plugged it - but all that it really does is to trust what the device partition tells it to be. like any storage, a usb driver has an index the computer reads first to know where files are to find - if you edit said index you can tell it whatever you want.
Quite so. In the previous video, the number of idiots stepping up and saying "Duh, just check the properties!" was astounding
@@AtomicShrimp I'll bet most of those 'experts' don't even know if the are running 32 or 64 bit Windows.
@@AtomicShrimp Wouldn't be surprised if there still will be comments like "just use Tool X and you'll see it!"
This bullshit must stop... Maybe sue Amazon? Would this be possible?if so Amazon would maybe do something about that crap
So in theory you could edit an actual 1TB drive to only say it's a 16GB drive on the computer, but be able to store a thousand times as much data on it than anybody else thinks?
I mean, you put 2% of its supposed data capacity on it and it straight up died. If that doesn't prove that it's a scam, I don't know what does.
The retailers could easily just say it was single faulty drive
@@squashyhex9818
I'm more referring to proving to the viewers that it's a scam
@@squashyhex9818 They could say the same when it fails the read write test in any other way though.
Though I suppose in Amazon's case, if the scams are reported early enough, the vendor won't be getting much money out of Amazon.
As they aren't paid straight away and can't just disappear into the night.
Hardware can just randomly break. That does not prove anything.

Yes that's real as it's a portable SSD, not a flash drive
"If you check properties it shows you the capacity." This is most people's depth of understanding, hence why the scams are so successful.
This reminds me of sellers hijacking the "Amazon's Choice" by using a completely random category that can be #1 in.
And then there's sellers that put an identically looking banner, just with "Best Choice", directly onto their product image.
"Panasonic ErgoFit In-Ear Earbud Headphones. They are Amazon's Choice."
"OOOR, you could buy Earbuds In-Ear Earbuds the Buds in the Ear Headphones with the Earbuds. They are also 'Amazing Choice'."
Nice Lucario pfp
Friendly reminder that you can actually pay amazon to be featured as amazon's choice. Now that you know that, it makes it quite easy to see that it is nothing more than a sponsored ad.
Regardless, there are tonnes of stuff on amazon that are basically just cheap alibaba Chinese crap with fake reviews that are all manufactured in the same facility sold under different names that people purchase to sell on amazon. That's why you get all those different items from different manufactures that you've never heard of with the exact same product using the same images but with a different name attached to it. Google the name of the company who makes the product, maybe you'll find their website claiming they've been a proud American business that's apparently been around for decades. Find out they are registered in California, go and check their actual registration on the government website only to find out they've only been around for less than 2-4 years and the registered owners are all Chinese.

I was just wondering how easy it was to scam people on Amazon earlier today.
Pretty easy, apparently.
Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Amazon exists only so Bezus can make money, other things fall to the wayside.
Easy to scam? Yes.
Easy to get away with? Not really. If you sell something on Amazon, and it's returned, they charge you cost of the item plus shipping. If you refuse to pay, they can even send some proverbial Men in Black after you.

This most recent Father's Day, my father had been quite adamant that he wanted a 1TB USB drive. I told him that they were still awfully expensive, and he more or less left in a huff. I later got a message from him linking to an Amazon page with an added "HAH! YOU'RE WRONG!" type of comment.
After failing to get him to understand that it was just a scam, I decided to get it anyway. It arrived quickly, but the day before it did so, my father suddenly said he changed his mind and didn't want that anymore. I'd never told him I'd ordered it, so I decided to test it.
The packaging was more professional looking than what you got here, but had no instructions and the packaging was the sort where you could simply snap it in and out of place. Needless to say, it was a scam as expected. 16GB.
The good news is that Amazon actually allowed me to return the product.
Moral of the story: if you have the knowledge to know a scam for what it is, don't just let someone without it convince you to play by the scammers rules.
did your dad ever get his real 1 tb flash drive?
"Hello I am a 2TB Flash Drive! You can give me 2 whole terabytes of data!"
"Wow! And you'll store all of it?"
"I will get all of it if you send it to me!"
"...but can you store all of it?"
"Any request, up to two ENTIRE terabytes, I will take!"
"...and I'll get it back again?"
"we'll discuss that later"
5 hours later *Dies* never to be seen ever again.

What a weird and unnecessarily hostile comment. Are compliments so alien to you, you can’t imagine someone genuinely giving one? Dear god.
ScQrow
I totally agree! I was planning to buy a flash drive from amazon and had no idea a subset of fraudulent manufacturers existed.
Amazon also has *BIG* issues with SanDisk, Kingston and other well-known brand ripoffs. You'll buy the product from them and receive a counterfeit that either fails soon after, doesn't have the advertised read and write speeds and file capacity. Sometimes the drives will have all 3. And the worst bit is, they're being sold FULL PRICE.
That's all Amazon is.
@@hurricaneheli79 Well... no it's not
I bought a 200 GB SanDisk microSD for my switch for 20€ on Amazon when it was on sale and it's working flawlessly. It's not slow and atm has 183 GB of data on it so I guess not all of the "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is" situations are true afterall.
@@m.z.2466 200GB is significantly less then 2TB
Part of the problem is that Amazon will receive counterfeit items from a crooked seller, and mix it in with other correct items from honest vendors. To them, a 128GB Sandisk is the same as any other. More than once I've heard of people buying a camera on Amazon, trying to register the product only to find out it's a gray market item and not valid for US warranty. Bottom line, if you want to make sure electronics are the real deal, buy from a source that sells only their own products.
If sounds too good to be true, it most likely is too good to be true.
As it stands were not that far away from having actual 2tb thumb drives as there is valid 1tb micro sd cards out there.That said the price point will be very high as currently a 1tb micro sd card sold by sandisk is 439.99$ at current market value.
@@NightLexic Ya the price point will be nonsense for a couple more years.
Or its Maybelline?

Atomic Shrimp: "I'm on to you!"

Atomic Shrimp: okay. you're still a crap product even if you were 2TB (which you're not).
Killed it and then _burned_ it so bad it's been cremated.
if it was actually 2tb for that price it would have been amazing, what are you talking about? The speed is slow sure, but not everybody needs blazing fast speeds on a simple tiny usb drive.
Windows 95 But then you have a Rolls Royce with 0 miles driven, for only £1000. Imagine the profit margin.
@@windows95leon what 40 GB? if that was true it would mean it doesn't actually have 2tb, but mere 40 GB or less.
The only reason it breaks after writing 40 GB is because it doesn't have 2TB. The original comment says "it would be crap even if it had 2TB"
Windows 95 Not if I run to the hills after cash is given. And if it catches on fire and explodes once it reaches 40 miles, who’s gonna request the money back?
Not cutting directly on the dotted lines
*YOU MONSTER!*
Honestly I feel bad for anyone who's unlucky enough to purchase one of these thinking it's real, copying a bunch of files which they only have one copy of (no matter how unwise that can be if they're important) and eventually finding out it's lost a bunch of those files.
Edit: Or having the entire thing die after 40 gigs.
Or copied a shit ton of files overnight, came back to the USB drive no longer functioning and buying another one having no clue that it's a scam.
Justin Martone Spot on mate
I just bought one. It died after I put a 40 gb file on it. Oh well still have the file on my other usb.
Nice pfp
TBH that has happened to me, I learnt the hard way but now I know all about these fakes. It's a shame because the videos and pictures I had on it will never come back but like I said, I know now.
A while ago I volunteered at charity shop that sold some of the nicest donations online and the manager was always worried our seller rating would drop below a certain threshold because it would greatly reduce our ability to sell things/discoverability etc. That seller rating doesn't seem to affect scammers who're willing to use and burn through multiple seller accounts in quick succession is annoying but unsurprising. It seems like a lot of automated security procedures; seller rating, TH-cam reporting, DRM etc, are more likely to affect legitimate users than those they're actually meant to stop.
That's not to say seller rating is useless, it does help keep legitimate Amazon partners honest and responsive but it's a shame it isn't able to stop outright scammers.
Anyway, thanks as always for such informative and entertaining videos on such a wide array of topics.

@Constant Disappointment | That doesn't mean you just roll over and accept it, though. Let's be clear here.
@@DarkShiftMusic Of course not. Which is why we have to eat the rich.
@@connie_d Lol.
You can buy or manufacture reviews too. Just do a search for "buy amazon reviews" I like the fact that one of the listings has reviews for it's amazon reviews.
My dumbass roommate bought one of these on wish and I told him straight away that it wasn't going to be a terabyte. He said I didn't know what I was talking about and that it was impossible. (He was a "software developer" in the early 90's)
After attempting to move a mass of files from my PC to his via thumbdrive, turns out none of the files existed. I went straight to assuming 32gb, which it could hold. Anything more than that, and it would just come up as an empty drive.
He didn't want to talk about it. lol
I have been having some real shitty experiences with Amazon lately. I bought a 650W fully modular EVGA power supply, the packeging looked like it had been opened and inside was a dusty abd used 450W non modular Corsair power supply.
Really disappointing to see Amazon dropping the ball like this.
Something similar happened to me. I bought a H150i, and received a H115i instead. Amazon really does not care that their store keeps getting worse and worse.
"Let's see what we end up with (less than a second later) HERE IT IS" That's quite the speedy delivery!
"next cut delivery"
Even better than next day!
Clever scam this one. They all die inconclusively so Amazon won't be able to nail them for counterfeit, but only for a defective supply.
Surely they can though, there is no way a stick of that size could possibly contain 2TB of space. It’s just not possible.
i love that even people in the comments of these videos are fooled by these things- it just shows you how "well" coded this scam is. like he said in other videos the fact that it saves over things means you have infinite storage- but after like 30 gigs you're just losing things. If yous seriously own one of these things and it cost under fifty bucks be very very careful
That flash drive was made by HP. I had the exact same flash drive in college. I bought it from Staples. Its capacity is 2 GB. The scammers literally just took 2 HP flash drives, removed the faces from both drives which by the way, the face of this drive actually states the capacity underneath the HP logo which is also missing here - then put them back together with the 2 opposite ends instead and sold it as a TB flash drive.
Two shrimp in a day? 😊😊
Keep up the good work fella!
I've never noticed your weird fingers until you brought it up, funny how that works. You helped me kick the habit of biting my nails, I had no idea it was problematic.Thank you!
I want one right now!!! Amazon should pay you for your QC testing efforts and customer education program. You are precious to me.

No no no that's 2 "Terrible bytes"
For this and other reasons I've been trying to avoid using Amazon unless there is something very specific I need and know what I'm looking for. To many cheap products with pretty pictures being peddled as the real thing.
Reminds me of a book that was published by a company that claimed to have high standards for their books but never really reviewed them. A group of writers decided to make a terrible book on purpose (a chapter missing, terrible prose, characters names randomly changing) to show the lack of quality control. It's called "Atlanta Nights" and while I never read the book, the story behind it always stuck with me.
The "they're all wrong" comment at the beginning of the video tickled me 😂
"THEY'RE ALL WRONG"
omg thank god you sent that garbage back
It's £17 at the end of the day, that's a litre of famous grouse and crisps.
Some time ago I ordered a couple of very cheap 16GB USB drives from a China dealer I know to be reputable.
(I can't remember whether Banggood, Gearbest, Tomtop or another of the many similar portals that have now mostly delivered good products to me)
I didn't care about the writing and reading speed, because I only wanted to save data on it for further transfer, significantly less than 16GB each, knowing that I will hardly see these drives again. The drives were surplus goods on offer, and really very cheap for the very practical and stable design shown.
About 3 weeks later the shipment came from China. Inside the ordered USB drives in a beautiful metal case, each packed in this little pouch labeled with "USB cable" with a golden 2TB sticker. I also included a note from my China dealer in English and Chinese:
Warning, please pay attention!
Dear customer, these U-Drives accidentally have faulty firmware, which indicates an unrealistic memory size. We have tested some drives of this batch, they are U-Drives with different real storage sizes, but at least 16GB under all circumstances. So never save more than a total of 16GB or less on these U-Drives and only use them for your own needs. Passing on only with this note
I then ran a test program that continuously saves randomly generated 512MB files on the stick, and after each save process, it carries out a parity check on the oldest file, and immediately if an error occurs here it also checks the data stored up to that point in time. The drives tested in this way then had real 32GB of real storage space, Genuf security for the promised 16GB for less money than they could hardly be produced in China.
I now use it as an operating system installation data carrier when a major update is due for all of my computers, which saves me a lot of time. Here the cheap things work perfectly.
And yes, these are scammer drives that many customers will certainly offer again as 2 TB drives on Ebay or Facebook.
I have enough trouble with genuine sandisk flash, nevermind the fake stuff...
That's a rather nice physical design for the drive, I wonder what manufacturer they stole it from.
Bought two SSDs for 57% off recently from Amazon. Your videos did make me slightly sceptical, but given they were sold by Amazon directly, not just a 3rd party Prime seller, and they were proper Samsung ones, I figured I was safe. Not had any problems yet, although I've barely used them so far.
I love this channel, I love the fact you have different content. Great video.
I had a floppy drive that would constantly format floppy disks incorrectly and make them 1.37 TB (yes, terabytes). Of course it wouldn’t work properly after that.
a FLOPPY DISK DRIVE.
Great video as always, whether it's spam scam, physical scams like this one, or weird stuff in a can. Even the foraging. Keep it all up sir. Cheers!
The good thing about being a prime member, you can return items
I like your unexcited and structured vids. Thanks for your work.
The consistent posting is amazing 👍👍 having a great time seein your videos every day 😁
They meant 2 GB, you know the T key being above the G key and all.
That's a Terra-ble joke, you got me Giga-ling :-)
Fake flash storage is the worst, especially memory cards... People will go on "once in a lifetime" holidays or have taken pictures of people who are no longer with us.
I work with people with mental/physical health problems or people who are technophobic and my advice is usually to run a verifier like you do on the drives, even if the full run takes very long it's worth it so that you don't lose precious memories with all storage devices.
Years ago when 32GB was a "large" capacity SD card, I bought one from Amazon, and it was fake. I contacted the seller and they were genuinely shocked that there was an issue with them, and they couldn't understand how there were so many other sellers selling them at the same price point. They immediately took the product down from sale and issued me a refund. So I guess not everyone (though less these days) knows about the fakes even if they sell these things. I'm certainly glad that Amazon returns are there if you do have an issue with a purchase, but it's heartbreaking when someone comes to you with only a tiny amount of their precious data left and being unable to do anything about it :(
Thanks for the PSA Atomic Shrimp, as always love the videos x
You can use it to test for poison mushrooms by tearing a byte out of them.
I have a drive with the exact same physical design. It's not great because the metal tends to get squashed inwards and won't fit into a usb port. It does look nice before it lives in your pocket for a few months.
I had seen articles in my recommend feed claiming Amazon was having a secret sale on these high capacity drives and sd cards. Supposedly under brand names too. Because of your videos I doubted the authenticity of those claims from the start.
I use MyMemory. The prices are reasonable and never had a bad product from them in over 10 years.
Ux2 Do Amazon really have "secret sales"? That's unbelievably shady - it also shows I'm a bit out of the loop - I had no idea Amazon was involved in something like this...
@@p1nkfreud I had seen Google recommending many articles and had seen an ad or two. I hadn't really checked it out. I suppose in a way yea Amazon is involved, but his main point was that mostly because of their non-strict criteria to be under the prime umbrella. So basically, Amazon said yep this is a good purchase and we'll ship it faster to ya. But yea atomic shrimps advice, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.
3 uploads in roughly 24hrs? I must've done something terribly right to be so lucky
I recently found a micro sd card with the exact same speed and storage size as another card with a different name. The more expensive one was more popular and had more reviews online but the cheaper one turned out to be exactly the same device, absolutely no differences besides the brand name
That happens a lot. Factories that make the name brand stuff keep making the stuff with a generic branding on it
I'm just amazed at how that package managed to get to your house with the address taped over ;)
I put blue tape on the screen when I ordered it from Amazon, so the address matches
"I Bought a £500 Amazon Returns Pallet!!" - "Hey! A 2TB USB drive! That's a good portion of my money back!"
Well shave my legs and call me grandpa! Who would have thought this was a scam :)

Constant Disappointment eats the leg hair and chokes then fuckin dies
I recently bought a 1TB external SSD drive from Amazon and tried to move my Steam library there and it said it didn’t have enough storage, despite moving only one game. I thought I got scammed, but it turns out it was just formatted as FAT32 lol
I don't get people who say "Just check the properties" - the scammers have hacked the microcontroller of the USB drive (or TF/SD card) to make it think it's got 2 TB of space, it's not like they've simply renamed the drive to "Totally legit 2 TB Drive, trust us"
It's a classic example of the Dunning Kruger effect (basically, when people know so little about a thing, they can't tell they are wrong, so assume they are right)
Damn, this is really disappointing! I'd assumed/hoped Amazon wouldn't put their name/service on it without first verifying it was legit. Looks like my online shopping days may be coming to an end here soon.

I just subscribed to your channel today. I am a sub to several other great baiters but I love how unique your videos are. Also, I can make Blackberry Ketchup. Variety IS the spice of life.
On Ebay you can get one listed as 8 tb and it is a usb thumb drive for around 30 dollars. 2 1 tb sd cards for 15 dollars. Basically what you are actually getting is 16 qb or 32 if you are lucky. I bought a couple of the cheap ones because I was curious and they work fine. But I also bought an actual 32 gb kingston drive for 4 dollars.
enjoy your malware
I bought one of these on wish intentionally, hoping if I reported it something would happen. At least I got my money back
Follow up video on how the refund process went please.
Very good info, thanks. I did not know there could be a discrepancy in what's seen by windows and what's truly there. I don't have partitioning software so I would not have that tool available, nor would I think it would show anything different than what windows showed.
It's funny that the drive overheated and fried, even though its case it almost a heat-sink itself, although stainless (?) isn't a good conductor it's still better than plastic.
Looks great. Can't wait to get mine.
What's your outro music bruv. I love it.
H2testw: "I killed a USB"
Me: "Well, that takes the term USB killer to a next level"
Yknow, it's amazing how few people seem to understand how computers report the size of a USB or other media drive. The computer isn't going to know a drive isn't 2TB if you spoof the drive to be 2TB, just like the computer won't know you won't actually have a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080TI if you spoof the graphics card to think it is a 2080TI.
Because basically what these scammers are doing is telling the hardware itself it's a specific GPU or capacity until the hardware believes it is exactly what you tell it to be. If the part doesn't even know it's true size or power, how can you expect the computer to know without some specialized tool?
I think Kingston is the only company making 1 and 2 tb flash drives . The 1tb can be purchased for around 180 us dollars.
heck i would have called amazon ive had issues returning items and they just refund me on the spot. no need to return the item.
Did amazon have to approve that product for it to be available on prime ?
I think it just has to be popular?
Dunno - maybe the seller just has to jump through a few hoops
@@AtomicShrimp By hoops, you mean bribes...
Back Alley CQC I’ve not seen any scam being available on prime like this, must of been a fat bribe!
There is no such thing as "sold on prime". The sellers just make use of the Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) service, which means they ship boatloads of their chinese crap to Amazon's wearhouses and Amazon then handles the shipping to the customer for them (including Prime shipping). Any company can use this service and nothing will be inspected or approved.
I’m actually amazed by the amount of fake stuff on Amazon now. I have shopped there since the early 2000s and have trusted them 100%. Now I am very careful buying physical goods on Amazon. I think this could really affect their brand if they don’t stamp this out asap
I'd have liked to see you open it(with brute force). Maybe they haven't removed the numbers of the memory chip and you can look up the capacity. Assuming it is an actual smd package and not just bare silicon covered in resin.
sounds like the flash memory got too hot and died and its only the memory controller showing, had this happen with one of my usb sticks die and all windows would pick up was "SMI USB Memory bar"
Love that your getting the attention you’re Chanel deserves
My inner grammar nazi just suffered a stroke
I remember when they would advertise 8GB but you couldn't fit 1GB. 20 years later I still have that flash drive.
Probably the USB flash memory controller overheated due to fast write (10MB/s). The slowdown happens even with branded and more expensive flash. But it does restore when cooling down (unplug).

That's why I don't order these kind of things online. I usually buy USB Sticks in Mediamarkt/Saturn, etc. (Germany)
I've stuck to products from well known vendors, with realistic pricing, and lots of reviews, and so far so good. Though to be fair, I don't by a whole lot of USB sticks.
Well you know you can easily avoid scams by just looking for reviews that did a hw2test, I've bought several sd cards direct from china, all arrived with their stated capacity and verified them myself, only one was of dubious quality (it died in less than a year), aside from that one I've gotten three 32GB cards for just $10 and they're still working after a year now.
I always order things such as USB flash drives, SD cards etc. from reputable online stores such as EBuyer.
You can check the capacity in another way. You could grab some large video files or archive of what ever. Copy it, plug and re-plug it and see how many files are accessible. You can verify it with an simple checksum of the originals and copied ones.
I was wondering what if you replaced the controller board from another legeitment flash drive with the same storage amount readed on it
Yoooo I am working at Amazon and when I saw one of these I actually stopped working and felt bad for whoever ordered it :/ I still wonder if the person has figured it out that it's not even close to 100GB
I forgot that video and this brought back nostalgia omfg HAHAHA
For future reference u may wish to use a virtual machine in future videos. U can find out how to create one online. Basically it creates a partition on the hard drive that has no access to the rest of the hard drive so if the usb stick contains harmful code it can be removed by simply deleting the virtual machine.
I use VirtualBox for some of the phishing email investigations - it's not so great a defence against some of the potential risks associated with dodgy hardware like this - I imagine there are ways for malware to attack the host OS before it presents the device to the guest
Awesome!! Upload after upload!!!
"so i thought, lets order one off amazon and see what we end up with, and here it i-" *intro plays*
well that was... abrupt
The positive reviews seem genuine people actually fell for it and left 4 to 5 stars reviews

Great vid, first time watcher
Thanks very much I bought the same 2tb flash drive. To good to be true. Take care and thanks again.
Why do people try defending those drives in the comments sometimes? I bet they're selling them. xD
90% of consumers are idiots........check out aliexpress or banggood rating feedbakcs.....almost all read "I received it, looks nice but still didn't tried it.......5 stars!!" (they are just pleased the package arrives, they don't care if they paid $50 for a broken camera.......also 99% of those buyers have no idea how the device they buy works)
Heads up for anyone running Linux. You can check the actual capacity of a drive with a tool called F3 using the f3probe command.
Very helpful & informative.
