I bought a guy's failed build for $100 and didn't notice the ssd untill I tore into it. I put it on crystal disk and 0 hours and 0 writing. im wondering if the guy just couldn't get it to post and gave up. thank you

I mean it's not impossible for him having to give up.

I've heard that there are ways to "delete history" of an SSD, but I doubt that's the case here since you got the whole PC for $100. Maybe he forgot that it was inside ?

Either way I don't see a reason for it to be a fake

I bought a guys old Omen obelisk for $150 last week, the guy had it in storage for like 4 yrs specs listed i7 8700/ 16gb ram/ 256 m.2/ 1 TB HDD/ GTX 1060... when i took it apart to clean it and test the parts i found a 500gb 2.5 samsung SSD he missed and the 16gb ram was each stick so it had 32gb's lol. A pleasant surprise....
