How can I help my colleague realize, that his 3TB portable SSD for 30€ from wish.com is not safe?

And if that offer is true, why do we not all own this small portable box of wonders?

 

Any input is welcome

tell him once and maybe show him a video on youtube where they test these drives.

 

thats it dont spend any more time on this, if he wants to waste his money let him do it.

A couple word, "if it's too good to be true, then it probably is"

And type "wish.com ssd" or something on YouTube and show him that 

 

If he still wants to buy it, well, let him do it, it's, after all generate no harm on your end whatsoever...

He already bought it and is quite happy with it.

He stores data and pictures on there, thats why I am a bit concerned

 

Does anyone know a good video about the topic, I heard once that they "overpartition" the drive and it shows a bigger number then the actual chip can carry.

The average 2 TB SSD costs like 200 to 250 €.
If his SSD was the same quality as the averge SSD, why would they sell it that cheap?

Not a deep dive into the Matter but ltt makes video about it quite a while ago

It's a micro sd but the point is pretty much the same
