The media exposed the chaos of inferior hard drives: 6 hard drives purchased from 5 platforms all shipped to the same place

[ Gearbest Technology News]On November 11, some media launched an investigation into hard disk products sold on online shopping platforms. They purchased 6 hard disks from 5 different shopping platforms. It was found that these 6 hard disks not only had serious false standards for memory and transmission speed. What’s even more surprising is that they are all shipped from the same place, and the mobile phone numbers of the five shippers are also exactly the same.

According to Gearbest, these hard drives emphasize words such as “20T, Huawei, Apple” in the title page, and are sold at prices far lower than one-tenth of the market price, posing serious risks to consumers’ data security.

It is worth mentioning that some netizens even pretended to be solid-state drive wholesalers without actual sources of goods, and carried out “empty package” fraud on second-hand trading platforms by stealing product pictures and sending false logistics tracking numbers.

In May 2025, Mr. Huang, who was engaged in the hard drive intermediary business, encountered such a scam. At that time, while browsing on a second-hand trading platform, Mr. Huang found a “wholesaler” selling solid-state drives. This merchant’s store has all kinds of hard drive models at very attractive prices. Mr. Huang immediately contacted the other party through the platform to inquire about his favorite hard drive model and price.

After the two parties confirmed the hard drive model, quantity and total price, Mr. Huang transferred the deposit and balance payment via Alipay to the other party according to the other party’s request, totaling more than 76,000 yuan, and ordered a large number of solid-state drives. After payment, the goods did not arrive for a long time, so Mr. Huang urged. The other party provided two logistics order numbers, but Mr. Huang found no valid logistics information, and the other party used excuses to appease him and asked him to wait. It was not until later that the other party completely lost contact, did not answer calls, and did not reply to messages, that Mr. Huang realized that he had been deceived.
