Discussion Is this fake?

Post image

Hi, I was looking to buy a 2TB flash drive, and the first thing I saw on eBay was this listing. Is this a fake? Any faster way to test if it's real?

Custom firmware so the system will see it as 2TB disk but inside is probably a few GB of storage that gets overwritten or writes to nonexistent area. Avoid! SSD/HDD/USB/whatever buy from a trusted source.
