I apologize in advance since it is a bit OffTopic... but:

You can probably stuff this 64TeraByte SSD with your life story and still have enough left over space to add all your music and movies into it.
I am talking about EVERY song you've ever heard and every movie you've ever seen.

I wagered on one, just to see if for real.
I don't know how long it will last but the exFAT really does work and properties report reads:

I still think there is an aliexpress 'gotcha' in it somewhere but not thus far.

These are pretty cool! You write data on them and ...

Amazon shoppers warned of portable SSD drive scam | Digital Trends

Shoppers are being warned to be wary of portable SSD drives on Amazon that claim to include 16TB of storage but feature a remarkably low price tag.

www.digitaltrends.com

Walmart has a 30TB SSD for $39 — don’t fall for this scam

Buyers of this SSD end up with a lot less than they bargained for

www.tomsguide.com

Yeah but seriously, obvious scam is obvious. Probably just a few gigs in actuality, and as you write data, it'll overwrite existing files and when you'll try to open them, pouf, all gone.

It is not, obviously.

I don't know how long it will last but the exFAT really does work and properties report reads:

Sure, this is how it works, nothing new here. Now, write the whole 64 TB on this disk and then read them back, compare what you'll get back with real data.

@Oso Polar and @GM3,
Not my first rodeo though! In 2019, I recall purchasing a 128GB Samsung Evo+ microSD

When it promptly failed, I contacted Samsung and their condolence to me was that they "are aware of clones"...

If I never reply back to my post; it'd mean it is still working.

Good idea but I have to wait until it is finished copying some backup files:

From a NAS HDD to USB-C.

 

[Madlop26]

Oh boy; 64 TB for 20 box, sorry my friend......impossible.

 

[Prana Ferox]

Yeah, those are an extremely well-known scam that people for some reason keep feeding

 

[Ron Party]

If only it were true. I'd come close to filling up a 64TB drive right now. I'd ditch my NAS and all of my JBOD which I use for redundant back ups. A fellow can dream...

I've had very good experiences with Samsung replacing SD cards under warranty, when purchased from Amazon or directly from Samsung.

Excellent 28% off deal.

I don’t need one, I don’t need one, I don’t need one.

Excellent 28% off deal.

I don’t need one, I don’t need one, I don’t need one.

I would definitely get yelled at by my partner if our main tv's soundbar were to magically turn into a Wiim amp and a pair of bookshelves.
