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

    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
