Cheap Chinese ebay auctions

[J.Munslow]

So, i've seen plenty of these sketchy looking ebay listings for high end components at very low prices. I'm pretty much 100% sure that these are fakes but i was just wondering if any of you have bought one of these items and just what actually turned up in the post??

 

example:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-X-Corsair-Force-Series-LS-480GB-SATA-3-6Gb-s-SSD-eBayq-/152564520693?hash=item23858dd6f5:g:1vUAAOSwDiBZKzYQ

Zero feedback on somebody, sketchy offer and wrong sings/letters in the listing? - Would better not try that. 

I have not personally tried sketchy eBay listing but even had terrible experience with massdrop and generally cheap eBay stuff so I I wouldn't recommend going stupidly cheap on stuff you want and want to actually work.

Don't go for those ones, it's a lottery what you'll get. check Ali express for no name ones if you want a cheap SSD, not quite as fast and will probably die sooner but a work colleague has about 8 of themand they work fine.
