That's a formatted 14TB hard drive. There are no SSD's like that. So either that person is total dumbass and has no idea what they're doing, or they're a scammer. Either way, deserves to be reported.

Look at the size of it, no way a 14tb hdd is that small. it's a scam simple. he said he filled it with games, but his ad says opened, never used.

Speaking only about physical dimensions, a 14TB SSD might just be possible, using QLC NAND in chassis of that size. However, no sappy twat is going to be selling it on FB marketplace for 60GBP.

it's a scam simple.

So yeah, scam.. There is a report option, report it to FB and explain that's not possible for that deal to be real..

How much would a real 14tb usb 3.2 ssd cost? few hundred?

Just a guess, 650GBP.

So 60 quid is a red flag

Never used... just plugged in once, filled with games, formatted, and a screenshot of its capacity was taken... that clearly doesn't count as use.

Actually, the description says HDD, so that's accurate. Only the picture is taken of a different drive.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

The picture showing the size means nothing. I know a bud who bought one of these, a 2tb one, would not take 2tb of stuff, looked inside, and it was a usb hub with 2x usb sticks in of unknown size, but no where near even 500gb each probably, this drive looks the same. Here is a pic of the hub that was in my friends. No doubt this is fake. I am sure it is possible to get a usb stick and make it appear much bigger than it is.

Ok, but who would sell a 14TB hard drive for 60quid? whether HDD or SSD, it screams scam.

I've been planning to visit Caffeine and Machine for a year now, but other plans (and covid) have deterred me so far. Let me know when you go next, maybe we can meet up for a drink or two. If only the weather was a bit better, though. I've had enough of this rainy winter.

The GT86 is nice! I'm sure the TRD can more than keep up with my stock ST.

I'm not a straight line guy either. I leave that to people with questionable English speaking skills who think owning anything with a BMW badge on it equals having made it in life. Country roads are more thrilling, and the scenery is nicer too.


The SUV thing is spreading all across the western world, I think. I don't know why, though. They have absolutely no appeal to me.

I went around the summer/autumn period last year, pretty much masked up wandering around outside/inside(even dined). Hand sanitised when required and it wasn't that bad, there was a lot of people and my visit there definitely pushed me wanting to go back to the coupe life(spotted a lovely JDM DC2 Integra Type-R and made me wanted one before they are rediciously over-priced*£20k+* but the GF said no).
Certainly around the summer i'll probably have more free time to organise something hopefully.

Hondas are nice too... and the Mazda MX-5... mmm! Though I'm happy with my ST. It's compact, economical, relatively practical (I don't need space for more than 2 luggages) and fairly sporty. I won't part with it until it dies (or I die). I couldn't care less about the 2030 all-electric bullshit campaign, either.

If you do, let me know. Do we actually have a UK-based car community on TPU?

 

[Space Lynx]

Are there any beaches in England where the water looks like the Caribbean teal blue color?

I do like the current gen MX-5s and I did consider one but my GF did not like them either lol, so it was back to the GT86 which I haven't got a problem with as they are one of my favourite cars and I missed my old one.
Its a drivers car and has decent enough space for whatever I need to luggage around, although carrying my PC gear when I move out might be interesting lol,this is my last hoorah car until I can't physically drive a manual anymore and I won't be going electric until its actually affordable and we are not charging them with fossil fuel and they can comfortably get 200-300 miles on one charge, which with the current rise in gas&electricity I wonder if the trade off for people that have electric cars will pay off vs petrol/diesel price.
I will let you know yeah, it will be a weekend for sure lol and as for UK-based car community on TPU, I don't think so as there isn't that many UK members in general on TPU.
Compared to OCUKers though, they have a big car community, ranging from old bangers to supercar owners.

Edit:
@CallandorWoT
To your question, no not really the UK sea and beaches is like a 4-6/10 in terms of other beaches around the world, full of d*ckheads that leave trashes around and smoking.
Its just unpleasant to be around and the sea is probably filled with people trash as well.

Seaburn Beach, Sunderland (my youngest daughter went to Uni there), this is possibly the closest thing to it ................

i googled some pictures of coastlines near southest wales, some of those waters look insanely blue... honestly I don't think people give England enough credit. it all looks gorgeous to me. sure as heck beats the corn and soybean fields from where i come from

 

[Deleted member 24505]

England can be a nice place. Some housing estates can be iffy though, but i guess that is the same everywhere. Most Americans i spoke to are surprised how small it actually is.

North of northern England in a place called Scottishland, we have those beaches. Unfortunately, they're in the far north west, 5 hour drive from Glasgow. Dunno how to attach pic from mobile, so can't post. But there are turquoise waters and white beaches. No litter either because it's freezing and nobody sunbathes.

£430 wheels are very good compared to the last set. I can accelerate to 32km/h a little more effortlessly and they hold their speed and coast further than the previous set. (they will coast for DAYS with very little effort)

They sound loud and obnoxious when coasting though.

If I can see traffic lights off into the distance and ease off the pedals, Ive noticed that other cyclists will look behind them to see what the hell is coming behind them. The wheels are just obnoxiously loud and the faster you go, the more loud and obnoxious they sound when you ease off the pedals after picking up speed.

Not really done any full on all out speed tests yet. conditions havent been that great. The roads i usually use for my speed tests have either been to busy or im fighting 22-26km/h head winds. If i can hit 48km/h that would be an achievement over the previous set. (probably impossible as i normally top out at 43-45km/h but thats not a speed i can hold for very long.)

my relatives near Wales have informed me we will be doing plenty of Indian food and fish n chips. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

I always remember visiting some of the Welsh castles. Harlech is just awesome. Then I was totally bummed when I found out they aren't Welsh castles. Built by the English to control the Welsh.

Dirty bastards.

This was your favorite castle than I suspect? I have only seen Ludlow castle, it was pretty neat simply for its history, but as far as being jaw dropping no... Harlech looks impressive I admit.

Any others here, can you tell me what the most impressive top 3 castles are in the UK? I want to see them... lol

Ludlow Castle is around 20 miles from where I live, Harlech is on a slightly bigger scale.
