Default cheap brakes

Hello everyone,just FYI ,please don't use no name brake pads,Last week,i needed some so i bought some from a local bike shop,He said he got them cheap,So i paid $20.00 for them and they lasted one week,and i noticed squealing sound but by the time i got home,my rotor was wiped out!

So from now on i'll stay with EBC Brakes only,
