    Whoah. I've seen similar fake "Samsung" drives but not one with a WD logo on it!

      Let me guess got it from E-bay shipped from China ?

      Pretty creative I'll give them that.

        I want to know if it works though? What are those two bamboo looking pipes?

                I wonder how much the USB flash drive PCB stores... and I guess it won't be reliable!
                My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

                  that drive would be too quiet... if this were an SSD IMHO it would be less obvious...

                    Probably RAID 1.

                    How are we selling more for less here? Perhaps the flash drive has a hacked size.

                          **Need Help Unlocking BIOS and Hard Drive on Dell Precision 5820 Tower**
                          by federalhouse
                          Hi everyone,

                          I'm in need of assistance with a Dell Precision 5820 Tower. The BIOS is locked with "Dell Security Manager," preventing access to the HDD-1 hard drive.


                          **Background:**

                          I recently purchased this Dell Precision 5820 Tower from a recycler who salvages equipment from abandoned office spaces. The computer was left behind by its previous owner and was password locked. Given that it can run Windows 11, I saw this as an opportunity to upgrade my setup.


                          **What I've Tried So Far:**


                          1. I accessed

                          PC case - Hard drive rails
                          by tmcw
                          A friend gave me his old PC case (with MB, and PSU), but no hard drive rails, he said he only used the 2.5" SSD spot inside, and used an external hard drive for data. He said that he'd have a look for the supplied rails, but I doubt he'll find them.

                          So I was wondering if case manufacturers used any type of standard 3.5" hard drive rail?

                          I'm used to the various Dell hard drive caddies or rails (and HP and Lenovo to a lesser extent), or el cheapo cases where you screw through the frame to fix the drive.

                          Now, the case is a CiT Gaming Case, and...

                          by ChaosLegionnaire
                          i recently bought a new wd re4 2tb with 2014 datecodes. when i got around to testing it tho in victoria hd tester, the write speed was very slow at 14 mb/s with a 256 sector transfer size. when i increased the transfer size to 1024 sectors, the write speed increased slightly to 44 mb/s. read speeds and sector verify speeds were fine and at normal speeds.

                          so i just ass-u-med the drive's poor performance was due to it being an advanced format drive and i was using it on winxp. when i tried cloning my system disk to this wd re4 2tb drive and writing to it in linux, the write speed...
