💾 SSD M2 PORTABLE USB DISK 30Tb External solid-state USB drive with 30 terabytes from China
As I expected, the inexpensive solid-state drive turned out to be another fake from Chinese craftsmen. But it's not all bad. After some modifications, it turned out to be a good flash drive.

📝 Even when I bought this drive, I knew full well it would have a fake capacity. There's no way this USB SSD will have 30 terabytes! After all, if you look at similar drives in home stores, the price of a 20 terabyte drive starts at 30,000 rubles as of the date this video was published. And here they're offering 30 terabytes for almost 1,000 rubles. IT'S RIDICULOUS!
But I was counting on the Chinese seller deceiving me, to show you why you shouldn't fall for such products! I bought this drive thinking I could easily prove the drive's capacity was counterfeit and get at least a partial refund. But in my case, the drive also had errors. That is, it wasn't even initialized when I connected it, and after initialization, no partitions were created on it, and I kept getting the same error message: "The specified sector could not be found." In short, the drive was visually defective to an inexperienced user, so I received a full refund. However, if you receive a working drive with partitions, you'll only be able to prove the drive's capacity was counterfeit and only get a 50% refund (unless you send it back).
The drive itself contained a card reader controller for four Micro SD memory cards. But only two 64 GB cards were installed, with the actual capacity. I was lucky that each drive actually had a 64 GB capacity, not just two. After all, if Chinese manufacturers were already determined to deceive, it would have been more cost-effective to install just 2 GB memory cards.
The device itself would be very useful for PC repairers. When booting, the BIOS sees each memory card as a separate physical drive. Therefore, it would be very convenient to write a separate image to each memory card. For example, Windows 8-11 Installer, Resuscitator, Driver Pack, and WPI.
Despite the fact that the sellers tried to deceive me as a buyer, I'm happy with the purchase because I received a convenient flash drive for free, even if it's not USB 3.0.
You can buy one yourself and follow the same procedure as in this video and use a normal free drive. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
