You get what you pay for!
Well, that’s certainly the case with this item! It arrived in the mail today, and the packaging looked rough. Right away I thought it was (what we in the retail business call) a “repack”.

I plugged it in, and NOT to my surprise, it didn’t work. I decided to have a look inside to see if I could fix it, and here’s what I found.

If you look closely, you’ll see that’s a MicroSD card glued in there! Now considering the highest capacity MicroSD card available on the market today is 2TB, there must be some kind of “magic” going on with this one.

I plan to look into the controller chip to see if I can figure out how they get it to show 3TB capacity, and, to determine the actual capacity of the MicroSD card.
Google says these scams are quite common, but this is my first time actually coming across one.
