Imagine buying a brand-new SSD, excited to upgrade your storage, only to find it’s already filled with files. This is exactly what happened to a Reddit user going by the alias "All-Seeing_Hands."

Instead, he found an unexpected trove of 800GB of preloaded files, many of which turned out to be high-value software worth thousands of dollars.
