They are all over sites like Aliexpress.

That's the Color Code, as clearly stated.
>Color: 256TB
It's a kind of Olive Green, you'd probably lose it if you dropped it while camping tho. But it's also got a built in bottle opener.

>>105963078 (OP)
the most obvious malicious payload in human history

An alleged 256TB HDD for $50.00? I was only curious if anyone here purchased one.

>>105963161
that's one massive payload

>>105963078 (OP)
thanks op i bought 300 of them

>>105963166

Are these things for real?

I don't know. You can find good stuff on Aliexpress at times. But overall, it can be a crapshute. 2TV sandisk anyone?

I think they would like me very much.

that's concerning

>>105963184
It literally has "portable SSD, mobile storage" printed on it. What more proof do you want?

This is all over Asia online
They modify the firmware to report a larger capacity.
You're rarely going to pay less than the average $/TB

>>105963078 (OP)
read the reviews, sort by date, think

The weird shit I find on aliexpress...

>>105963386
actually looks pretty useful ngl

I am not trying to sell anyone here, any of this stuff. But if someone does youtube reviews... Maybe take a look at the legitimacy of drives like these. Here's a 2TB USB thumb stick... apparently..

there are like a bijillion videos on the topic already, it's common knowledge at this point how the scam works (modified firmware, data will get corrupted after the actual 4-8 gb capacity of the flash chips is exceeded)
you either lived under a rock for the past 10 years or most likely are just trolling

>>105964121
>there are like a bijillion videos on the topic already,

I looked and couldn't find any videos on the subject.

Implying that this is common knowledge?

>>105963078 (OP)
It's false advertising, but nobody can do anything about it because the China doesn't care. Their creed is "do anything you can get away with".

>>105963386
Short Asian women with 4 inch platform shoes will never cease to amuse me. They're everywhere, from school kids to office ladies.

literally just search for something like "1 tb usb drive scam" on youtube and you'll get like a bijillion videos about it with half a million view each, you really didn't look at all.

>>105963078 (OP)
It will definitely allow you to write 256tb to the drive.
You'll never be able to read it back though

>>105964219
There are more of those on Amazon

i have been eyeing R36H for gba games, but yeah you can find some clearly fake listings.
>>105963184
>>105963166
>>105963078 (OP)
it's usually a near empty housing with a glued SD card inside that was reprogramed to report the said capacity. But will fail, if you start trying to fill up with that much data. It's sad because many people fall for it. I do know you all are memeing about it here

is storage still an issue? i feel like cloud storage has eliminated most of my drive needs.

Problem?

>>105966772
I heard about this scam back when USB sticks where 128 MB.

>>105963078 (OP)
100% real

>>105966913
Most of these are like 16-32GB or maybe 128-256GB drives, they just edit the partition information to be 256TB. If you write more than what is actually available data becomes overwritten and the oldest data corrupted.

Yes if you plug it into a PC, Windows or Linux or Mac it will report 256TB but it's not usable.

its probably a bunch of sd cards and breaks like nothing.

How high can we go?
Anyone seen 1024TB yet?

>>105963143
>Aliexpress
Anything over 500gb is going to be hacked to show some outrageously high number, but if you put more than 500gb of stuff in there, it overwrites the stuff you previously put in there.

>>105971119
>How high can we go?
there's no theoretical limit, you could have a yottabyte one if you knew how to mod the firmware on these things
>Anyone seen 1024TB yet?
I thought I did, but turns out it probably was 1024 gb instead which is fucking hilarious

>>105969931
yes, you can actually do this
there's a little problem tho
>Find out it's only 1tb
if you are extremely lucky, you'll find out it's... 8 gigs, at best.
you'll never get anywhere close to the claimed capacity, most are just 2 or 4 gb
and sure, if you repartition it correctly or maybe somehow edit the firmware on it after running H2testw to find the real capacity you'll end up with a perfectly working 4 gb sd card for free... but what's the point?
you now wasted a bunch of time to get a 4 (maybe 8 if extremely lucky) usb stick or sd card that's of very sketchy quality/reliability when you could've bought a legit one for like... 2$? very stupid indeed
>Do this 256x times
that's a very quick way to get banned permanently from aliexpress, it doesn't matter if you are technically right and they should stop selling counterfeit shit goods that don't do what's advertised, their alghorithm doesn't care.

>>105963078 (OP)

SanDian, sure, I get it, but what the fuck is this???

>>105971284
>if you knew how to mod the firmware on these things
You can often find the manufacturers flash utilities they use at the factory by searching the controller part number

https://usb-fix.blogspot.com/p/sss_03.html
They allow you to change the programmed flash size, name, and low level format.
I used one once to fix an old 4gb drive by low level formatting

>>105971384

The Chinese government should live up to its Communist namesake and order one of these. Then when it's fake round up every single person between the guy that answers the phone and the owner and put them in a gulag.

Cost of living is low so scamming westoids out of 1000 dollars once a month is a good middle class wage over there. Same rationale with indian phone scammers.

>>105973578
They do though

>>105971384
A lot of people have no idea what would be a reasonable price for specific tech. They also often have hardtime tell if a thing is a scam or not.

>>105977083
There's probably not that many attempting to write 256TB of data to a usb stick either. They'd just blame Windows Explorer.
