External SSD drives - this sounds too good to be true

This is a well-known scam, and yes, the drives lie to the OS about capacity:

I don’t think you can even get a 30TB spinning rust (sorry, I mean “traditional magnetic platter”) drive for the price they are advertising, so it’s definitely a scam.

I think 26 TB is still the largest hard drive.

A month has passed so of course that’s no longer true:
