Talk about this "AGAIN"...people need to understand realistic prices and Walmart needs to vet the vendors and how they get on their platform.
-
That SD card is most likely a rejected card from a legit manufacturer like SanDisk or Samsung. These cards failed the QC tests at the factory and somehow got smuggled out of the factory for them to be used in shady products such as these. I wouldn't trust it with any sensible data even if it performs fine for the moment.
-
WALMART, AMAZON etc...need to hire a bunch of dudes like you to test this kinda crap before they allow it on their websites/store.
-
It's like being offered a new Ferrari for $100, you've got to realise that something is screwy.
-
I once got an SSD from WalMart in person that was priced and presented as new, even behind a locked glass door, and it still was not only used, but still had someone's data on it, AND a bootcamp partition. I'm not surprised that this is happening
-
Back in 2019, I bought one of those SSDs from Walmart's online marketplace, although the one I bought was 500 GB and was branded as "Kootion". Rather than having a spoofed storage capacity, it would outright crash and lock up my entire computer every time I tried to copy any file to it. I contacted the seller to explain the situation, and surprisingly they fully refunded me and paid for me to ship the item back.

You deserve an Oscar for pretending to be surprised every time these SSDs turn out to be USB 2.0!
-
The reason it is faster directly is because the computer uses SD Mode, whereas the enclosure uses SPI mode, which is slowet but doesn't require a license
-
Ken's credit card company must hate him for all the chargebacks he has to do.
-
Another red flag is that they are private third party sellers (read: NOT affiliated with Walmart or Amazon) shipping from and based out of China (or similarly sketchy country). Always look at the country of origin. ALWAYS.
-
I hate this trend of huge retailers letting whoever use their name to sell scam / garbage items It is frustrating
-
I would also check whether the USB cable included in the product is even USB 3.0 compatible. I've been noticing cables that claim they support USB 3.0 and even color the plugs blue, but are only wired for USB 2.0.
-
I love these fake storage device videos, as it's always interesting to see that what they've put inside of the covers of those.
-
5:48 “WhatThe (F:)” Genius 😂
-
30TB? I don't think we are came that far yet. (Mind the date as I wrote this)
-
Ugh, the fact that major retailers like Walmart and Amazon are allowing this kind of stuff to happen is beyond infuriating! Simply put if it’s too good to be true, it probably is. Sure, the prices of flash storage have come down dramatically in recent years, but giant capacities, like 30 TB and larger, are still going to cost many thousands of dollars for probably the rest of our lifetime…
-
Hey, the fact that the microSD card was decent means you got $15-$20 worth of value for your $40.

bro the ending made me lose my shi im dyinggggggggggg "have u finished ur homework? no mom the cheap ssd ate my homework"
