😡 Difficult to prove the real capacity to Ozone support due to firmware tricks

The firmware tricks make it hard to prove the real capacity of the fake SSD to Ozone support. It shows full capacity and seems to work normally, but most files can't actually be read back. The man tried many applications but couldn't determine the real capacity. Ozone could use this to refuse a return by claiming it's the customer's fault. The man had to break open the case, voiding the warranty, to finally reveal the mini SD card inside.

Transcripts

So I welcome everyone to the channel in this video I would like to show you a unique

offer this is an external SSD drive, attention not 2 TB or even 16 TB but whole ones Imagine

32 TB and the price is absolutely affordable 1,900 rubles You won’t believe it I’m shocked I immediately decided to order

while there was an opportunity to snatch such a chance and I was lucky, the seller accepted the order very quickly and

literally 2 weeks later a brand new SSD drive from HP arrived to me, supposedly for 32 TB. However,

this is just about my imagination; in fact, SS Deshni came to me but there are nuances Yes, I

understood that 99% maybe even 100% I would find myself in the trap of the Chinese Joker, but in fact I and not

only me and hundreds of buyers were trapped not only by these scammers but also by

the largest online market network Ozone, which in fact allows It’s easy for yourself to sell on the website

the illiquid Chinese consumer goods I found on Ozone, by the way, various crafts of storage devices such as from

the Samsung company, you know those Xiaomi Lenovo There and so on, and the Ozone employees themselves don’t even

read the complaints and comments under such products and don’t try at all how - in general,

I’m also struggling with this. To be honest, I wasn’t interested in the SS Dshk itself for 1,900 rubles. You know, I was more

interested in what exactly the Chinese are selling on Amazon for these 1,900 rubles. What’s inside. These are

the SSDs and how it all works and As we can see with you, the craft is really quite well

made, it has a neat box, an all-metal body, high-quality assembly

and there are no obvious noticeable signs of use, in a word, very neatly assembled, like an SSD, even

all the words in English are translated properly, in general, in the kit itself. So we have

a cable type-c and through it I connected the SSD to the computer. I hope my computer will survive after this

and there are no Shanghai viruses. In general, good luck to me. So we see that when we connect Windows

11 it actually produces almost 31, this is essentially the correct volume. But what’s interesting is the SSD it’s just called

SSD and there’s nothing there HP Solid State Dr just SSD and that’s it, then I decided to put a few

files on this sask for half a byte, let’s say it’s like you know everything normally, everything

is reset, everything works, but the data transfer speed is suspiciously low for SS deshnin

and we see C there is a maximum of 10-15 m instead of 400-500 And what does this mean right This means that inside there is

most likely a screwed SD card or a regular USB flash drive of the second version very, very low

speed indicators Well Okay Okay let's go further, for now the question is only about the speed. Yes, it is very low,

but we actually have 32 TB supposedly, and even something is dumped on this scammer ess dshk. But this

attention could be the firmware and most likely a fake volume was downloaded onto a regular Chinese flash drive

ess deshny save up through Windows and from Miracle, even after formatting, the volume still remained

the same 32 TB and it is very strange that the Chinese sewed up the shell inside the shell very thoroughly,

that even after formatting via the Windows command line, the drive does not reset

its real capacity to default and stubbornly continues to lie to me about its 30 TB In general, I went through

the forms and read the information on how to open the Joker’s trap and there was one kind person there

and, in general, He advised me to try one German firmware, that is, software that tests

any flash drive and at the same time determines the real capacity of the drive because attention, the Chinese are so

good at transferring 32 TB of supposedly data to a scam ESD, and if you start, like me, to launch

movies or files there, then you will find that only 10% of the movies were transferred there and 90 percent of all

files do not open at all and even give an error, as an example I decided to transfer as many as 100

movies to the Chinese fake szone and think about all these 100 pieces, they really transferred and

yes you think Well, in reality, it’s like the whole place in fact Everything was thrown, I started running these very

films and they work at 10% and the rest just freezes or it gives an error: black screen and

so on, and therefore most likely the real volume here, I think, is no more than 32 GB And this is definitely not 32

yay In short, I spent about 6 hours checking with a tester and at some point Everything

really hung and I still didn’t I found out the real volume of this craft, then I tried

a dozen different applications and all of them were unable to find out the volume of the ESS

a real trick that not a single application can find out how much the real volume is,

the only thing I was able to find out in this application is that we have a tenth

class SD card inside and such a card costs on average there, well, 300 rubles in the zone But this is definitely not 2.000 That's the whole

story, and it has such a problem with the uncertainty of the actual volume of the SSD, it is very difficult to then prove to

the ozone manager that there is something wrong with the drive, it seems to be recording like 32 TB,

everything is OK And after recording, 99% of the files are not counted and here the manager can, of course, tell you that

these are your problems with your files, such are your crooked files, in general, you see here 32 TB,

everything is written, everything works, and the fact that the files can’t be read is already your crooked files, that’s how

you can refuse customers in returning the goods But we understand that we

just have a flash drive inside, and to make sure, of course, it’s worth disassembling the case and looking at what

attention is to disassembling the fake drive, by the way, it turned out to be very difficult and this was specially

made so that it would be difficult to unscrew and at the same time you would have to break the case itself A it means that a really

broken case is a broken product and cannot be returned, cunningly Yes, cunningly, everything is clear here, of course,

but we are still promoting this pig, I don’t mind 2,000 rubles, so after opening,

friends, you and I see the following picture, which means of course there is such a small

card and in this card there is such a small connector and it is inserted What is true is an ordinary SD

minicard In general what should you expect on the card itself there is no marking at all

its volume is unclear what kind of marking it is What kind of company is in short absolute noname and in general -

we insert it into this scarf. That is, solder a regular USB type-c connector to it. And this is

how a regular SD card works for 200-250 rubles, and exactly this mini SD card does not fit into 32

TB, so in principle, and here it is the story with this drive if friends consolidate everything

seen above I would like to give an honest 10 points to Chinese engineers it was precisely on such

tricks that the country managed to raise the Chinese economy to prohibitive heights in the past, and now it’s also

strange to see that in such a developed country with an incredible economy it’s still There are

such entrepreneurs left who suffer from such nonsense to cheat people out of 2,000 rubles But it’s one

thing Okay, all these fakes have been making them for a long time and are endlessly doing something else. The thing is those

who sell this garbage on large sites like ozone. So the CSN in this situation with its selling

video cards during miners is not even so sad if in Ozone, in fact, it is officially

allowed to scam buyers, we will demand more from China. I hope one day this garbage will simply disappear

from the zone, otherwise there will be even more buyers like me. But I just bought it purely for the experiment,

I don’t mind 2,000 rubles, but those who don’t rummage around in this hardware, ordinary people there I don’t know,

I’m sure they’ll buy it without hesitation. That’s the story. Don’t even think about buying a real

1 TB SSD capacity costs about 45,000 rubles. But definitely not 32 TB for 2,000, all prices we have we all know very well Once again,

thank you for watching this video if you liked this format, write me I will continue to buy all sorts of

stuff and we will basically sort it out with you all again good luck and see you on the channel bye bye
