I found an 8TB SSD listed on Amazon for just $199 AUD, which seems surprisingly cheap. Amazon generally feels trustworthy to me, but I'm curious about this listing since there's no mention of speed specs, which feels a bit off. Can anyone shed light on whether this deal sounds legit? Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0FP2N1XLC/ref=sspa_dk_hqp_detail_aax_0?psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9ocXBfc2hhcmVk. Thank you!

The listing only has 3 stars with two reviews, so that makes me suspicious. Sounds like a gamble!
If a deal seems unbelievable, it often is. Just a heads up—don't fall into the "special user tax" trap!
There's a lot of counterfeit stuff on Amazon. It can be risky buying from random sellers, and I’ve heard stories about others trying to resell similar items and it backfiring. I’d be very cautious here. That price point doesn’t add up, and if you want to protect yourself, remember you might still be able to get a refund.
Honestly, 8TB at that price seems too good to be true. Real SSDs usually cost around $600 USD or more. I advise you to stick to known brands because those cheaper Chinese drives often manipulate firmware to fake higher capacities.
Real 8TB SSDs are quite pricey. It's likely that if you buy this, you'd be getting something fake. Trust your instincts on this!
I noticed that one of the one-star reviews wasn't there earlier today, which is odd.
