I would be very surprised if this is not a scam. Also no way they're actual UK seller. You'll need to return it to SZ or something, not worth the hassle.

just no, better you buy well known ssd and pair it with usb c casing, much better than that stuff
maybe you never hear something like this one

just cautious
I do buy ones with good reviews Integral V Series V2 they are very good value.I do have Samsung ones to ,including the T5.That one in the video had four flash drives in total 128gb for a 8tb drive. o_O What caught my eye was that it was a uk seller .Any way good job i saw the video. At that price you know they are fake.There are still mugs out there who buy that crap.As we know with all those fake GPU,s.I would not buy from China anyway.

No they have drives in them all, be it with a lot less than they say, and only flash drives.
