I actually stumbled on this Seller for another Listing that I was notified about via eBay saved Searches:![]()
Hacked account? Happens a lot here in the US.I'm quite a bit skeptical about the ad I linked. It seems too cheap to be true.
I just wanted to point out the Fact that his account is quite new and Price quite Cheap (IMHO).Doesn't seem particularly cheap for an old 1TB SATA SSD. Even the one I linked is cheap, but not uncommonly cheap. In fact I sold a bunch of unused SSDs last month at similar prices just because I wanted to make a quick sale.
Like all my other posts, I don't vouch for the seller. I am only posting those links so they sell out before I buy one more SSD I have no use for.
Why bother to hack an account that was created a few Days ago though ? That makes no sense. Just create one in such Case ...Hacked account? Happens a lot here in the US.
Depends what SSD and from whom. There are sellers based in China with positive ratings in the thousands. I used them and have only had good experiences (outside of the delivery time which is around 2 weeks). As for what SSD, there are lots of counterfeit EVO SSD. But I have yet to see a counterfeit enterprise SSD, it's a much smaller market, unlikely to be worth manufacturing them.Would you buy an SSD from China ? Pretty sure that is Counterfeit #1 these Days.
Not sure. There is the f3 utility to detect Counterfait SD Cards, and you can use that on SSDs too, but I'm not sure if it's really that reliable.Depends what SSD and from whom.

AgreedBut yeah a new account with few ratings (or unrelated sales) from China, I'd stay away
Given the Prices so-so (nowhere near this good though more like 50% more than this at ~80EUR) I bought a few 1.6TB-1.92TB SSDs.I think you are overthinking this issue. Again takes lots of effort to make a counterfeit SSD. They won't bother unless they can sell big enough volumes of them. If you really want to check, try to write half of the disk, that's the only reliable way. In every other way the SSD will lie to the OS on its nature.
I am in the UK, but don't have any cheap ones to sell anymore. And I am not the one who bought the 3. I just have no used for a 3.84TB SATA SSD, already have 4 lying around on my desk.
This looked interesting for some Systems I am currently building. Only 960gb but OK. Plus it's NVME. But Price seemed too good to be true IMHOfor instance, those are counterfeit SSDs. You can tell, they are made to look like Samsung/WD models without the Samsung/WD logo:

Of course the other Issue with Samsung/IBM/Netapp/Dell-EMC/Oracle/etc Drives is Firmware Updates (and lack thereof) ...Enterprise drive, unlikely to be counterfeit in my opinion.
Because of the good feedback. Hard to make a new account and have good feedback instantly.Why bother to hack an account that was created a few Days ago though ? That makes no sense. Just create one in such Case ...
I think the fakes have gotten to the point that only the manufacturer would know when a product is fake after they have it in their hands for a warranty issue. With used good this would never happen, so almost no way to know if something is fake or real except by perhaps the seller.But I have yet to see a counterfeit enterprise SSD...
This is mistaken thinking. Most fakes are run off the same lines as the genuine product, but without the real manufacturer knowing or their qc oversight. Hence why the fakes have gotten so good and also present enough of a problem now that manufacturers factor it into the price of genuine goods.I think you are overthinking this issue. Again takes lots of effort to make a counterfeit SSD.
