Testing A *FAKE* 2TB USB Flash Memory Stick (SCAM from Wish.com)

Before you comment, read this:

No, device manager or properties would not show the real capacity. The drive has been set up to misreport its size. The host OS cannot detect the true capacity. Formatting doesn't do anything useful either.

The video is As long as it needed to be. I don't target any specific duration when I edit my content.

You might see ads for Wish alongside this video. I don't have control of that. If you think about it, it's rather lovely that they're spending money imposing their ads against this vid

Yes, I have weird thumbs. It's OK if you noticed that. It's very rude if you feel the need to comment on it. Learn some manners.

If you're confused about why you can't see the reflection of my camera in the screen, take a lesson here: https://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/refln/Lesson-1/The-Law-of-Reflection

If you think I should have used a screen recorder, you're right, of course. I was lazy.

If you like my shirt I'm happy about that. It's custom made – search my videos for shirts to see the whole story, or click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9unmbBEn_Yk
(If you don't like my shirt, that's ok, because I love it for both of us)

I see these all the time at boot sales and another youtuber called ColinAbroad does market haggling in Asian countries and they're everywhere there… I even saw him haggle for and buy one in a video (but I think he did put a clip of him testing it at the end and realised)

The first USB stick actually looks really cool, they should use that design more often. Oh, and thought I would add I give grammar my best shot when commenting on your videos. I know you enjoy nice English. Gob bi.

Isn't it false advertisement to say the USB Stick has 2 TB although it has less than 1GB. Wouldn't it be therefore illegal?

I bought 1 very different and copied my 4tb to USB and guess what it all copied so I guess I was Lucky ?

wish is all fake giant scam

I got scammed by them, too. you all know the saying… If It Seems To Good To Be True. Enough said.

My mate bought a similar metallic 1TB drive. I told him off for wasting his money, and while the drive was just as slow it did seem to hold more.

I still don't understand where his camera is located at even after going to that physics website lol

I would give my left kidney to meet you (my left is the good one, too).

Nice housing, though.

7 Mb/sec is terrible? Huh…

fake

Would USB 3.0 not be blue inside?

Wish is a load of crap. They promise amazing stuff but what you actually get is sad crap that never works and is always not what they say it is. Sometimes they refund the stuff, but they should not be selling lies in the first place

You can see if it's a USB 3 if the inside part is blue

Maybe 2TB means "too terrabyle", just as its transfer rate. 😀

God all that he does is waffle

Lets just forget the USB… but did you say in the video "Apple flavored milk"?

I have a bad 512GB from Wish, BUT I'd not trust its data since I think all these are just chips that fail manufacturers tests.
Windows reports it as 500.00GB, what hard drive have you ever seen that reports an exact value?! 😂

Using Linux you can run a command to fill the drive with a pattern very easily:
#yes "0000000" | tr "n" "1" > /dev/sdc
run as root user it writes direct to the disk (sdc in this case)

Verify the data with:
$sudo pv /dev/sdc | tr –squeeze-repeats "00000001" "Z"

The initial "yes" command will keep running until it gets a disk full code. (or so I hope! 🙈)

I don’t know how I came across this video. However about a year ago I purchased a 2TB USB memory stick from Wish.com. It was gold, etched 2TB and cost about £11. I couldn’t figure out why my laptop was unable to detect it. To cut a long story short, it was just the metal case and nothing inside.

Wish to get scammed . com

Somehow all of your scambaiting never once made me think you may work in IT.
But this did. Lovely execution, and thanks for your videos.

it’s called wish for a reason…

I was going to buy one off wish thanks g G or telling me it’s a scam

Was anyone else watching the flavoured milk video the whole time waiting?

Interesting video, thank you!

They sell this trash on amazon as well. I paid over 20usd for 512gb and it turned out to be a usb2 32gb just rewriting over and over

How do you even figure out how to test that? Your honesty incredible man good work

There is an automated wish costumer support service that I absolutely love because they give you back your money for literally anything you’ve bought with almost no questions asked

4:11 ‘The transfer rate is real slow here.’
My iPad which downloads any file with an average of 1-3MBps: Am I a joke to you?

Whatys the purpose of playing the video constantly while you copy the files? Or is it just to see how much it lags?

It not a memory

You have nice thumbs dont listen to the haters

I got an almost identical USB both in looks and price. Only difference is it was only 1TB

You got the Corona virus now too. LoL

my friend onced bought 2 flash drives each with 1TB storage and it never let him download a game, because he thought the flash drive dont let him download stuff Or insert stuff bigger than 500MB.

Well thank you.

I swear YouTube, there I finally watched it. Is that what you wanted, Recommendations?

ASMR much?

Apple milk?….

Wtf This Is Too Good To Be Real.
Here In My Country An 8G USB Drive Costs About 8€.

Face reveal happened via reflection?
Idk if he already did it or not.

My boss actually fell for this scam, he was so happy finding this deal. I told him it was fake, he plugged it into his computer, showed me the capacity and said he had already used it. So I asked if I could test it, which he agreed to. In the tool I used, I limited it to 10 gb, it could read back about 128 mb

And you do smth about this ?

I just love how engineers expose scammers

Just recently subscribed after being served some wholesome 'weird stuff in a can' ep's by the 'ole al gore rhythm, and discovering the diverse content on your channel with great joy! Keep up the great work, and hats off to the 'inception style plug for the 'in a can' series (watching my screen watching you watching a reflection of yourself in your screen whilst loading up yourself in a can on said screen…:D)

I almost bought that but not from wish though. Glad I saw this video first

That's why I support Trump's trade war against China..I hope the entire world would stop importing this garbage from China

He kind of sounds like a older version of Mumbo jumbo
