      That sort of scenario was where i picked up a normally 2.5k Wacom drawing tablet off of Ebay for $500 (it'd clearly had heavy usage but it also still functioned perfectly fine and was a great pick up thanks to it's sturdy manufacturing~)

      It technically doesn't delete the data, it just get sent to be "stored" in memory address spaces that do not actually exist and the associated error reporting is intentionally broken, without either you or your operating system being informed of this. That's how the scam works. But in effect it's not very different: Only once you try to actually access or read your files "stored" in that non-existant space, do you become aware that something is wrong. The data isn't corrupted, it's just fully and irretrievably gone.

They had actually glued a 3-in long screw, that was about a quarter inch wide, inside the case of the drive to give it weight. They had actually hot glued a giant screw inside the case to make it feel heavier. 🤦

    I found a "2TB SSD" on Amazon for $20. I figured it was almost certainly a scam, but I could just figure out its actual capacity and reapportion the drive appropriately, and if I couldn't, I was only out $20.
    It turned out to get glitchy at 32GB and also it's a lot harder to change the size a storage volume claims to be than I thought. I ended up just partitioning it into a volume the size it really is and a do not use-fake volume for the rest. But it's still corrupting files so I assume some of the fake addresses are in the real volume and some real addresses are in the fake volume. Now it's a $20 paperweight.

    These SSDs erase data once it goes over the limit to trick you as long as possible. People trust them with precious moments of their lives.
    There should be real jail time for producing and selling these.

      120 is too low cuz around 40 gb is taken for storage and 20 gb is taken for other things, that leaves you with a 60gb space which can only handle 4 popular games

    Dude, what happens if you actually try and write 16TB to the drive? There used to be a thing with USB sticks that was similar, they advertised 250GB storage when the max you could buy was around 16GB if you were loaded. If you copied your media to the drive, anything beyond the available space was immediately erased, I think it was essentially creating a RAM disk that was de allocated on eject.

      @JSTheAnonymousOne Рік тому +1

      From what I recall, you're just writing data in a loop. It'll just keep writing data from beginning until end of the disk and writing over what was already there. It basically causes corruption at any amount higher than true capacity for that reason

    Kind of off topic but somtimes during production, hdd mfgs will (for example) make a 4tb hdd and leave an extra platter on the spindle from the 6tb manufactire run.
    They just disable it so its not recognized.
    I guess its cheaper to leave the production run like that than spend the labour to remove.
