        Yeah, as low as $61 on Amazon for 1TB. Pretty amazing if you’re old like me and remember diskettes.

            They’re sold as 1TB for that price. But if you actually write that much, you’ll find that only part of your data is there. The rest is garbled or zero.

            There’s tools to restore this (on windows/linux), and it’ll show up as a smaller size when you run them. You can also use such tools to set any fake size you like

            I bought a large capacity unknown brand cheap SD card somewhat recently, it seemed real at first but after installing an OS on it and running a few minutes became bricked somehow. At least I got a refund.

            In the uk I can get 1TB for 95gbp from sandisk website.

            So probably less than 100 usd in usa from a reputable seller.
