- Here is a Fake - Counterfeit - Kingston A400 480GB SSD which was purchased from ebay - It lasted a week before it was no longer detected by the computers bios - lets see how to identify it as a fake and exactly what is inside this dodgy knockoff...
Purchased a 960GB Kingston A400 from an eBay seller for just over AU$33 which turned out to be fake. Fortunately, I ran some tests to see if I could fill the drive first before trusting it with any sort of data as mine, too, had the 6V sticker on it.
Never trust your data to a single drive no matter how reliable it is.
A customer brought a SSD powered laptop that according to him was slower than when it used to have HDD. Plus corrupted SO. I removed the disk because I was losing my shit, it was slow as an U2 SD card and unstable.
Thanks to this video I can confirm the red LED and the warranty sticker are the most notable signs of a counterfeit A400.
i opened mine too it also look like this but the chip has the kingston label on it, is it fake too? btw its 240GB version.
If the pcb is blue than its real if its green or black its fake this is how you know because mine came today and i opened it straight away and the pcb was blue it had kingston text labeled on the chip the sticker was way better and i order it on gjirafa50 wich gives tou 1 year warranty and they bring their products straight from the original fabric
For more it is useless to buy original, I ordered a lot from Kingston precisely the original DELTRON A400 960g and these are very bad, I would say as bad as a Chinese, what do I mean in the writing speed that did not exceed 50 mb /s in many of the tests and the read one like 350 mb/s tested on several computers, these get slow after 25% fill, I thought they were pirated or failed (check with the Kingston APP and serial), but No, so a client brought a laptop with this same model and it behaved the same, at the beginning it marked a good speed and then it fell noisily when you filled it up. I realized why I copied information immediately, I also had to finish them off and even give them away, because They behaved like this, the A400 480g does not behave like this, for me the last Kingston that I buy,
I got scammed too. Look exactly the same as yours.. Same chip, No kingston logo, black pcb. Not detected eversince i purchased it. Piece of trash whoever invented that
I bought a KC600 1tb from china from a reputable seller on ebay and it is also fake.
The pcb is slightly different tough. same crap anyway.
I got 480gb fake kingston mine too and its completety already dead waste of money and my data is all lost 😢😢😢😢
Better buy in legit store
