Just bought a Weme- brand (generic rebrand) usb desktop layflat harddrive dock..

On sale, $13

After looking at their website, This now looks like the most sketchy product.. Literally nothing works on their website.. Feels like they just threw it together as a cover..

Took apart, looked up each chip individually,

Dimensions of all chips check out..

Nothing obvious.. But who knows if it got some firmware level hax...

If in doubt plug it in to a virtual machine connected to a router with no internet connection and watch for attempted network activity?

OKOK... even more suspicious.. it comes with a 24watt AC adapter.. Now, why would it need anything close to 24 watts hrrrmm?? Hrrrrrrrrmmm??

3.5 Inch drives go 10-12watts tops...

OK nevermind.. Spin-Up Current can approach 2 Amps.. so the 24 watt checks out.. Although Tp4 would've rather accomplished this with larger caps vs a larger supply...

Don't worry, Colonel Sanders will smack them down before they smuggle the recipe out of the country.

Layflat harddrive dock for $13 WITH a 24watt ac adapter.. Definitely stealing State secrets.

If China is putting spy chips in electronics they have probably been doing it for along time.

At least we know all of them will have NSA-backdoored firmware, so you will be spied on by both Chinese and American intelligence
