Oh I am very aware of that but this guy doesn't seem to be. He came to me with his daughters school laptop because he had purchased an external harddrive so she could put The Sims 4 on it. They were having issues installing the game on it.
He bought a 40$ 2TB external harddrive that was fake and kept crashing when you tried to access it. At least I managed to get him to spend a bit more on upgrading the SSD instead of having his daughter suffer through loading games from a shitty USB HDD.
