Looking for a super cheap HDD or SSD and found these on Ebay, they are shockingly cheap so I wanted to know what was up with them, are they fake, if so why do they have no negative feedback?
Is there any other alternative to buying cheap storage?
thanks
do you suggest any alternatives
There's a search bar at the top.
This one from yesterday is what you'd be looking for: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/828602
on a budget hence why searching for a cheaper alternative, thanks anyway
How much storage are you after?
500gb+
Is there 4TB on 2.5" form factor doing 7200RPM? That is the question you need to answer.
Think biggest I ever saw on 2.5" is 1TB and that is probably 5200 RPM because they are laptop drives.
Considering enclosure is like $5 and it is like $25 per TB there is no way it is possible.
It is like those 4TB micro SD cards on Aliexpress for like $4. I'd give 64GB or 128GB or even 256GB a punt for $4 but 4TB micro SD doesn't even exist.
Yes, they're fake…
It'll be some form of fake USB or SD Card inside flashed to show "4TB" but doesn't have that storage and will error if you try to write that much data to it.
