Best I can do is a 3.5'' inch SATA to USB adapter case with one of these tiny SSDs glued in

Don't forget to include the hacked controller firmware that reports the drive size as triple what it actually is.

Triple? That'd rookie numbers.

My manager ordered four "4TB" external SSDs from AliExpress a few weeks back. He paid £60 total for them, delivered.

My Sus alarm started clanging, so I grabbed one off him and ran some tests on it.

After a couple of days of the tests chuntering along, I ended up reasonably convinced that they're - at most - 40GB. And even at that capacity they're useless, transferring at around 10MB/s

Yeah, in my last IT job I tried to get my manager to run the big purchases by me first. Eventually he started to see why.

(He was a good manager, just not a huge hardware nerd)
