Bait & switch is a common deception technique that's as old as time itself, but usually it's only seen being done by bad actors. What if I told you that this is happening today, right now, on sites like Amazon and Newegg, with some of the best selling SSDs?

Hacker News Stories and Comments

All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this video.
Linus Tech Tips recently did a video on this practice[1]. Almost every major component was changed but still sold as the same drive. In summary, performance was different though not necessarily in a major negative way. In this case it was an ADATA NVME drive.

This was a problem with the Adata XPG SX8200 Pro, which LTT covered in this video[1].
