Trouble is that people who buy fake knock offs from China do not read here until after they have done so

 

far better off , if you simply must buy these things on eBay (bad idea to start with)

 

check the sellers feedback first

open a dispute if you are sent garbage 

leave neg feedback for the seller

 

buy from someone authorised to sell them instead

 

 

The seller you left feedback for, you leave them positive feedback for a dodgy product

the are now unregistered, likely shut down by eBay for being dodgy as

In addition to what Sandy said, remember that if something is too good to be true, then it probably isn't true. Check the real prices of those drives on the websites of real retailers like OfficeWorks and the prices will speak for themselves.

OfficeWorks scam too.

 

I searched for "16tb ssd" in google. One of the results from office works said "Seagate - Solid State - 16TB Expansion Desktop Drive Black". See screenshot, but if you follow that link it no longer says "Solid State".

That Seagate drive, it turns out is just a standard huge 3.5 drive in a standard external housing. Which still uses a vintage USB 3 connector (instead of 3.2).
