    What’s wrong with the trustworthy and well known brand Wetsoen Digitol?

    A suggestion - plug it into a USB SATA adapter/enclosure and check it with ValiDrive: https://www.grc.com/validrive.htm

    (unless you’re just going to return it without opening the ESD bag)

      So out of curiosity, I did what you suggested but I’m unclear about the outcome. Looks like the drive is shit as it already crashed on me.

      Maybe you can tell me how fake it is.

        Whoa, that looks like trash. Are you getting a refund for that?

        Can you send a picture of the bottom of the drive with the control board?

        Also what adapter / enclosure are you using?

        Serial number: 6

        So 5 other people bought one of these before you?

        Also don’t use all 4KB of your storage in one place.

        I’m really curious what’s inside the case. OP does it feel as heavy as a 16TB HDD? I’m curious if there’s just a tiny little SD card soldered inside this thing.
