Amazon Sell Fake SSDs?

Description
real real real fake. On the second line, first up is a 2 TBTE USB 3.1 portable SSD from Lurer, even though it's colorcoded blue. This is in fact a USB 2.0 adapter because you can see the other five pins aren't in there. New space 176 gigs that is hot glued and not screwed to the SL. This is apparently a 64 GB chip. The way it's continuing to copy more data is that it is deleting older data. Why doesn't Amazon just take legal action against these companies and get their money back? If you want to sell on Amazon, you need to have a trademark. So, if your business model involves inevitably being reported and banned from the platform, you make gibberish names. Then, when you get banned, you just change a single letter, file a new trademark, and boom. It seems that Amazon has made the decision that the cost of compensating the victims of these scams is lower than the cost of preventing them in the first place. If it seems too good to be true, it might just be a good deal, but it also might be a scam.
The short opens with a quick unboxing of a 2 TB USB 3.1 portable SSD from Lurer, highlighted by a blue color‑coded case and a 2.0 adapter that reveals five extra pins. The presenter notes that the drive contains a 64 GB chip and that the device is capable of deleting older data to free up space, a feature that could be exploited by sellers on Amazon. He questions whether Amazon should take legal action against these companies and claims that the cost of compensating victims is lower than preventing the scam. The video ends with a call to action: if you want to sell on Amazon, you need a trademark, and a single letter change can make a big difference. The overall tone is skeptical yet hopeful, suggesting that the scam is real and that Amazon’s response could be a good deal for consumers. The clip is short, but it packs a lot of information: from the hardware specs to the legal implications of selling on Amazon. The presenter’s commentary is clear and concise, making it easy for viewers to follow the narrative and understand the potential impact of the scam. The video is a solid example of a tech review that blends product unboxing with a critique of the e‑commerce ecosystem, and it invites viewers to think about how Amazon’s business model can be improved.
Viewers largely agree that the video exposes a real scam and that Amazon’s response could be a good deal. Comments highlight the importance of firmware changes and the need for better consumer rights laws. The tone is humorous and critical, with several commenters pointing out the low reputation of the companies involved and the need for better enforcement.
