so we took a look at power banks listed on amazon
and found out that a lot of them were completely lying about their capacities
we did the math of how many milliamp hours this battery has and it's only eight thousand
so this battery pack is a liar companies seem to be getting away with lying about a lot
more recently i was looking for usbs to store all the extra footage we have and
something just wasn't adding up there were so many usbs listed as one or two terabyte usbs
it's not impossible for a usb to have one terabyte but for the prices they were selling them for
it's extremely suspicious so we spent six hundred dollars and bought some sketchy ones and some
that actually look legit i'll have to open them up and on oh it's it's not that kind of video
okay i'll have to test them out and see who's really being honest about how big
their usb actually is we're gonna start off with the gold one because it's gold and
it's apparently two terabytes which is probably impossible we're gonna take this and plug it into
our computer and see what it says we'll move all this out of the way and we'll pull up our laptop
so the computer recognizes this usb as two terabytes for twenty dollars you just cannot
get two terabytes that's just not a thing so they've reprogrammed this usb most likely
to display that it is two terabytes but you won't be able to use two terabytes to do this
test we had to find a program that would allow us to actually dump a bunch of files on the usb
and find out its true maximum capacity we came across a program called h2 test w which does just
that so we're going to select the target which would be the usb and we're going to click right
plus verify what this does is basically it dumps as many files as possible until this usb cannot
take any more so it'll tell us the true size of this usb a few moments later these usbs are so
incredibly slow so i'm gonna have to do multiple usbs on multiple computers simultaneously
so we have our beautiful two terabyte usb this one is also apparently one terabyte which to me makes
no sense it is usbc though so that's pretty cool oh it's usb anc i actually bought two of these
by accident this one also says one terabyte i highly doubt that these are one terabyte
we have another usb with the same packaging as the last one it also says two terabyte and it
came kind of like messed up we have this one and it says it's usb 3.0 which is extremely
unlikely and we have sandisk's one terabyte usb which is probably the only real one here
we also have this 256 gigabyte flash drive this one may also be truthful i don't really know
it was pretty cheap though so i couldn't tell you for sure because this would take so long
we're gonna download the tester on multiple computers and test multiple usbs overnight
so after testing all of these usbs here's what we found some of these usbs are listed
as usb 3.0 which should allow data transfer speeds of up to 600 megabytes per second
which if you don't know is pretty fast take this file transfer for example it's supposed to be with
a usb that's 3.0 but it would take more than a day to transfer 31 gigabytes that's insane all
of these usbs except the sandisk usb seems to be usb2 despite even having the bluetips on the usb
which would indicate that it is usb3 not to mention there's a huge inconsistency with what
the ads say versus what the actual usbs say some were listed as one terabyte on amazon and then
show up as two terabytes on the actual computer i took a deeper look into amazon listings because
these usbs still had extremely high reviews and i think i uncovered an even deeper amazon scam these
sellers seem to be switching up their products after customers already had given them high
reviews this listing for example there's a review about a sushi set on a usb doesn't make any sense
right they're most likely changing the listing after the 5 star reviews come in to whatever
they want which is very misleading now to reveal the true maximum capacity of these usbs this one
is usb 2.0 and it's actually 64 gigabytes even though it's advertised as one terabyte the gold
one is 32 gigabytes advertised as one terabyte and it's also usb 2.0 these two are also 32 gigabytes
even though their advertise is two terabytes and they have the blue tips but they are not usb3
they're also usb 2. this one is actually only 16 gigabytes and it's also usb 2. and this one
advertised as 256 gigabytes is 16 gigabytes and also it's usb 2. lastly we have sandisk's which
is actually accurate it is in fact one terabyte and usb 3. at this point we were ready to end the
video but for whatever reason i decided we should open these up and see what the internals look like
and i'm really glad i did because what we found was pretty shocking so most of the usbs look
pretty normal they all seem to be from similar or the same manufacturers but one of the usbs had
something really really strange that would be the silver usb after opening this usb we found an sd
a micro sd card inside the usb this usb wasn't actually a usb at all it was a micro sd card
reader with a micro sd card and then i thought to myself where have i seen this before this video
was a lot more dangerous than i initially expected plugging these usbs into my computer is not only
dangerous but i could be jeopardizing everything i've worked for i might have a virus now but thank
you guys so much for watching be sure to leave a like subscribe and i'll see you guys in the next
