Getting ripped off is always going to hurt especially when you think you’ve bagged yourself a
bargain, but the guy who bought this hard-drive in and took it to a repair shop to find out why his wouldn’t play properly must be steaming! From the outside this knock-off
Samsung hard-drive looks real enough, even plugging the device in to a computer the space shows as the claimed 500GB.
But opening the up and the things start to look a little disappointing!
The customer only discovered that he had been royally ripped off when, after copying
movies to his newly purchased disc he could only
watch 5 minutes of film before it restarted again and continued in a loop.
Upon inspection the local repair shop, situated in a
Russia town bordering
China, discovered the
case had been fitted with a small capacity
Nand Flash unit and 2 large steel nuts (to give it some genuine weight!).
