Update, 1/17/23 2:04 pm Eastern: In a statement given to Review Geek, an Amazon spokesperson sought to clarify that it doesn’t allow review merging as described above: For reference, the largest portable SSD Samsung offers is 2 TBs, and it goes for $180. But the sub $100 brands claim to be M.2 SSD, one of the most expensive and fastest formats out of there. The well-known brands don’t offer 16TB SSD portable drives they’re merely enclosures for traditional spinning drives. Compare the sub-$100 offering to the others, and you’ll notice the case appears to be much smaller. Most are from completely unheard-of brands like “WIOTA” or “SAJIULAS.” But while these strange brands offer hard drives under $100, options from well-known brands like Western Digital are in the multi-hundred dollar range. Start a search for a 16 terabyte (TB) external hard drive, and you’ll get dozens and dozen of entries. You don’t have to go far to find these fake hard drives. Update, 1/17/23: Updated with statement from Amazon The Suspiciously Underpriced Oversized Tiny Hard Drive Josh Hendrickson I know because I bought one and tore it apart. So when Amazon offers a 16TB external SSD hard drive for under $100, that sounds perfect. You want lots of space for photos, videos, or anything else. When it comes to portable hard drives, bigger is usually better. We bought one and got a glorified 64GB hard drive. These are nothing more than a scam, and don't work well at all. Such a drive would cost thousands of dollars. If you see a 16 terabyte portable SSD on Amazon for $100 or less, don't buy it.
