LTT: We bought a cheap SSD from Ali Express..

[NagaThai.]

Yep I bought one and got caught out too! Any thoughts on this additional ....... PROBLEM –

 

CAN’T GET KINGSPEC 512GB SSD TO WORK LIKE SAMSUNG 860 EVO SSD IN EXTERNAL USB3 CASE. CAN’T PLAY MOVIE (mp4) ON TV.

 

SET UP-

I have 2 identical usb3 external 2.5inch cases. <ORICO 2.5" 2139U3 Transparent SATA HDD Mobile Hard Disk Drive Enclosure USB 3.0>

 

I have 2 new SSD 1. KingSpec SSD 512GB 2.5" SATA3 P/N P3-512 2. Samsung 860 EVO SSD 1TB.

• Both SSD have the same format and can be seen on the computer “Disk Management”.

• I have loaded the same video (MP4) and music (MP3) onto both SSD.

• The computer can play both video (MP4) and music (MP3) from both KingSpec and Samsung SSD. On the TV (connected via USB3)

 

1. The Samsung SSD will play both video (MP4) and music (MP3).

2. The KingSpec will NOT play video (MP4) or music (MP3).

a. The TV reports Kingspec SSD with “No movie files on current device. Select another category.”

 

PROBLEM SOLVING TODATE – THAT DIDN’T WORK

1. I have tried swapping the SSDs in the external cases.

2. I have tried swapping the cables in the external cases.

3. I have tried swapping the SSDs in the external cases to different usb ports on the TV.

4. I have tried cloning the SSDs content to ensure exact copy.

One of my machines has one of their... And this is an abomination unto itself: mini PCIe PATA IDE SSD. You read that right: an IDE PCIe SSD. What's the machine, you might ask? A Dell Mini 9, a netbook that I just use as a note-taking laptop 10/10 nobody messes around with a large man who carries a candy pink netbook.

Hi, does someone know the song used in the video? (2.44) I'm really in love with it, thanks.

We found a manufacturer called Kingspec on Ali Express, and decided to give one of their SSD's a shot. Here's what happened.

 

 

Buy KingSpec 512GB on Amazon: http://geni.us/1uTmhU
Buy Samsung 860 EVO 500GB On Amazon: http://geni.us/ZBHnC6

Yes, Kingspec ssds are vey bad.
