I got caught buying a bunch of those. 2x65Go, and 2x2To. I haven't tried yet the low capacity drives. But the 2x2To drove me nuts last week ! long story short, I've spent the whole week trying to use them as storage/backup for nextcloud on a raspberry. Everything was ok on the genuine sd card, but I wanted to take a step forward by expanding the storage capacity combined with backup drive if something goes wrong. Well things went wrong pretty fast with those drives. Impossible to transfer big files (more than 2Go, sometimes less than that), impossible to read some files, folders suddenly disapear. Files got unreadable, all of them, after a reboot. Errors appear everywhere, and ahead of them corrupted GPT error. I've tried to format, to fix the partition table, switching between mbr/gpt. Nothing worked. So I confirm, those cheap drives aren't worth their 4-5$. Don't waste your money ! and Don't waste your time and your sanity trying to fix something already dead.
One of my clients brought me several of these usb drives. I told him about the scam and threw them in the trash after a round of hammer time 😄
Yeah, those drives are garbage.
@@ElectronicsComputers It is a few years ago but I remember it only allowed exFAT and not FAT32 or NTFS.
And just as you explained in the video I saw that after a certain amount of data transferred to it the files became corrupted but still showing the correct file size
the old adage is always true, If it sounds too good to be true then it is. I appreciate your channel.
Truth!
The best thing you could do with non reputable brand drives like this is throw them in the trash.
The reason I made this video is that we had a situation where a customer brought us an 800GB backup on a drive like that. We told him that we can't restore it because it's a USB drive with fake capacity, and he said that it's impossible he checked the size of the backup :)

Ha yeah like they know anything santa still delivering them pressy's age 50 why the tree stays up in the corner full of junk boxes

"non reputable brand drives". Well they do use reputable brand names.
I'm here coz this man was the only one who helped me troubleshoot. For that, I'm forever grateful. ❤
Happy to help!
Same, after trying every command on linux, hours of reading trying to fix something broken, I finally came to the same conclusion than this man. Many thanks to him for going straight forward to the problem. Many issues reported on linux forums about USB drive, I haven't seen yet someone suspecting the cheap chinese hardware.
Helpful, thanks❤
You're welcome 😊
Great video, thanks!
Thank you for the comment!
comes also with spyware blote ware and all kindz of hidden virusses
I got one... it shows that files are corrupted all the time. And things that I copy for hours end up to be empty folders. Formatting USB Key didn't help. There goes my idea about having all of my music on one USB key.
All you can do is try to figure out its real size and then trim that drive to the correct capacity in the disk management. But I wouldn't keep any valuable data to that drive.
Formatted many time have not useful. Because the structure was develop by modify firmware to upgrade high capacity but real chip only have capability 8GB
I bought one and i am tryin to figure out if its 2tb and its 1.89 but 2.0 and 3mbs transfer speed
100% fake
My sister fell for one of these scam USB drives, I am so ashamed of her.
But anyways, those drives still do what they have to, just with a small capacity. Just trim them in Disk Management to the correct size.
How can we chat?
Don't buy have data lost issues.
another scam ive ran into is super cheap drives that have a genuine capacity of 64GB, but have such a slow read and write speed that they will fail when writing more than 1gb at once. better to just spend the extra 5 bucks and get a real one, lol
I have a 117GB drive and all files work costed me 6$
That price is about right. 128 GB flash drive costs about 7 us dollars in my country.
Great video.
Thanks!
how can you lock your drives ?
Do you mean access protection?
yes. sorry my english is bad :D
@@ElectronicsComputers
I have stored my pc image on a "MI" usb stick that is 4TB according to the decription.
I payed less than 15 bucks for it.
And i reinstalled pc image using the usb stick
My image is about 2.8TB in size.
So that means that i at leat got a 3TB usb stick for 15 bucks.
That's also not bad.
It's fake too, 3tb flash drives don't exist and your data will get corrupted
@@Justgreen89925 I already tested my flash drive by copying 8K movies on them to the point that it reached it's full capacity of nearly 4tb.
Amd i watched all movies from start to end.
So this means that in my case the flasdrive does has the 4TB capacity
of nearly 4tb.
It's more around 3.75TB
Thanks ❤
Welcome!
Fool me once shame on me fool me twice call the cops. I got burned and will never trust those bums again.
I dont know, maybe I got lucky because mine works great, never had an issue. I bought two and they're exactly what was promised. I was also very skeptical but turns out some of the vendors are alright.
@@n3h3m maybe it's just not the same one.
try adding 100g of files
@@elektroman3187
@@elektroman3187 max the storage

Link? Because I bought two and NEITHER work at all whatsoever. Fake pieces of plastic and they were sent hella late too, so no refund. Win some, lose some I guess. Sigh
chinese should stop doing this nonsense ... ffs ...
That's how some Chinese companies make money.
Good video.
Thanks!
Make in China
Thxxxx
Welcome!
Rule of thumb: anything cheap and Chinese should be avoided. Moral integrity is none existent over there.
