I Bought a $3 2TB USB Drive and Got More Than Just Malware

They likely put the malware and the size stuff on a rom chip, and when it gets plugged in windows executes a program that puts the malware into your startup programs

This mans PC is already dead, it just doesnt know it 🎅 🎅 🎅 😺

Evil

Worm virus , I remeber those from the late 90s. It's like the game worm or snake. It just circles its self towards the center. And bricks the system. It overwrites itself in a loop.

i want one of those there usbs I have somebody i really dislike

i bought a usb from aliexpress and it came exactly in that packaging

Purchased a 0.49 € 982GB micro SD card and noticed Memz.exe on the drive lol
So I destroyed the SD card with my scissors

This is why you use the sandbox, and also why nobody should ever put any kind of device cable anything like that in their computer that they found it in a parking lot used from China especially there could also be rid of corruption, but the level of corruption with the Chinese Covid his party ahem ccp This is right up their alley

Tell me exactly what made your files disappear? How can we identify whether or not a microSD card has whatever causes your issue versus something that would not? That’s what I want to know either nobody knows or this is the kind of shill

Of course, it wouldn’t surprise me if the CCP had an agenda to do this, especially with our patriotic chip shortage deal.

Alternately, there is an incentive for this to be propaganda itself, though, until I find kukri evidence, and I am actively searching. Still, these cards are sketchy if you think it’s too good to be true, but sometimes you can get a good deal, and it turns out legitimate or at least none of these tools were capable of Shouvik this.

I tried every single fringy, shady software and technic fully understand how these cards work now wasted about six hours, doing it… And guess what, I guess I just got a deal. I would be extremely leery if it was a terabyte or 512 under five dollars, but if it’s that the top speed and quality 64 GB is it a lot to expect these days I guess. All I wanted was a few eight gig or higher but that’s the cheapest. I found 64 GB for two dollars each and as far as every single one of these processes are concerned I have confirmed they are actually legitimate.

I was looking forward to having some sort of evidence to get a refund…

Yeah, within the realm of reasonability 64 GB microSD card with second to slowest raining really do cost two dollars. I can’t find anything cheaper or for less.

So now that I am following this rabbit hole the first two extremely sketchy dirt, cheap refurbished or suspect drives directly tested. OK they tested faster. Yes I understand. Bits versus bites. It’s funny because some programs don’t… Anyways, it showed they were actually slightly faster.

The only thing I’m concerned about is the corruption thing. What is it that makes official microSD cards less prone to corruption than refurbished or cheaply produced knock offs?

It still amazes me though, even the store brand real microSD cards that might be the fast ones but 64 GB on some thing that’s small I remember upgrading my RAM from 2 MB to four and raving about it

Too bad we hit a plateau last decade, though, but the role of processors got knocked off the list as a manufacture, because of the measuring contest between Intel AMD and Motorola. Consumers bought whatever had the highest GHZ rating of processors even though that is not a proper way to define how efficient a processor is. Efficiency is what matters not speed or frequency. Either way , the best processors in the world are rotting away on motherboards that fell apart because they used solder is it melts below the operating temperature. The best technology we will ever have is what we already had and what we are building now it’s just cheaper and cheaper there have been no significant milestones other than going back to tape think about that

Wow, I feel bad for anyone who plugged this into their personal computer and lost their data

This was painful to watch....

A fellow Canadian.. Subscribed.

mbps is mega bits, not mega bytes

I got mine just like that and man i plugged into my computer. So what can i do in order to check if my computer got infected or not

Why the heck was he smiling I don’t know what was going on with him

I would be happy to get such a nice shell for a two dollars...

....Could be really useful if you are just trying to clear out your files...... persistently.

Oh I am sure that just automaticaly uploaded it to 1.92TB cloud Storage to keep safe for you😜

As someone who lost his data 3 times, I’m scared of this video

when "pros" cant differ between 480 MBits and MBytes. so sad

Talk talk talk blah blah blah...
Can you do some actions? It only take 30 second to find the truth.

Probably just hid the files…

This is werigood education thank you from Jan Durovka

Thanks!

good to know..always heard that you don't upload stuff from things you don't know where they came from..cuz things go bye bye.

You don't need to be an IT expert, you just need to be a total idiot to fall for this kind of scam. Next purchase, micro usb drive of 12 TB. Like a pea, it is smaller than the brain of customers who fall for this scam.

Honestly got the same virus when i bought a external drive with more realistic price and size and some files disappeared do you know if this only happened while the thing was plugged in or even after? I am very much scared of all my files on my twon external drives dying on me

Good heavens. You need to listen to this back. Very hard to follow what your waffling on about.

What if they pretend to be 2tb but copy it to the cloud and all it has is a cloud acces

Does Windows 10 autorun malware on a flash drive?

Soooo... Ur saying... You used your home PC...

i bought those 2tb and 1 tb before AND THEY DO NOT WORK, YOU CAN LOAD FILES ON THEM; BUT, VERY SOON THEY CRASH AND YOU LOSE ALL YOUR DATA. I will never buy another flash drive over 256GB 128GN probably safer.

Technically if you soldered 2 micro SD slots to a USB connector and put 2 TB micro SDS You could make a 2 TB USB

I have a 2tb drive that I loaded files on that disappeared after I went back to it, Then I plugged it in again and the files were there. weird, where the hell were they? my files didn't disappear from the original drive I used to check the 2tb drive.

Two chinabytes for the price of 4 americanos and then some.

dude you overprice the packaging so fucking much that packaging costs like 50cents

Even with the most expensive external memory, data will vanish except with an mdisc.
It takes 10 to 15 years for that to happen.

It not only stores no files but now your PC doesn't either until you reinstall Windows. Plug your installation media in with it powered off and get to the boot menu. May as well wipe the partitions on that PC so the malware has nowhere to hide. While I reinstall Windows I would be destroying the part of that fake drive that stores the files so no one uses it by mistake in their computer. I would want to make sure that the black part is no longer recognizable as a USB device, at least long enough to have it go out in the next trash pickup.

So, Jay, how much money have you squandered on crap you know is just crap? Happened to me....once. I don't do that any more. I know you're trying to be helpful, and you are. What would be cool, would be to debunk the people who are selling the dog doo.🤮🤮😱

Yeah malware best thing in the world

The most valuable thing here is probably the malware.

Maybe you should read about the difference between TiB and TB?
