At this time I have searched on YouTube for "AliExpress SSD" and, I don't know if this is always the case, but a user bought a 64TB SSD and it appeared correct in Windows Explorer, but he started copying files and when it reached 64GB it no longer copied He opened the ssd and recorded it on video and inside was a 64gb micro sd quickly soldered together. Other users say that they record but then many files are corrupted.

This is a well-known scam and it has been exposed multiple times for what it is. I'm not sure about all the banking requirements in your Country but you could try E-Bay if Amazon is giving you trouble. Another way to deal with obstacles such as the ones you are facing is to use a reputable broker like PayPal. This will help give you additional purchase protection and usually facilitates purchases made by the buyer.

Got an E-Mail last evening, Amazon has a 4TB NVMe drive for $159.00USD.

External SSDs go for about $50-100 USD per TB. For example, you can buy a Western Digital 4TB My Passport External SSD for about $220 US. If the prices is much less than that then it is probably fake.

I have never bought anything on Aliexpress or Wish.com because there is so many fake things being sold on them. Even the places I trust I try to stay away from things with no brand names.

BTW, 512TB SSDs don't exist at any prices. You can buy a Solidigm D5-P5336 61TB SSD. It sells for only about $6000 US.

I can't even find the newest one touted as 200 TB. As I said before, it must still be "pie in the sky". And, if it's ever released, it will be the largest one made so far. Unless someone sneaks a better one in . . .
