btwallis Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 So I saw this on amazon and said, wait, what. If it's to good to be true, then it most likely isn't true. What do you think? If I buy would my money just be swept off into cyberspace? https://www.amazon.ca/External-Hard-Drive-16TB-Portable/dp/B0BX6QN6F5/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=NAIAI&qid=1681421317&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&smid=A3H2EAX9LPPFX6&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFORjdFS1FLMVJPOVEmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAwMDU3MzIzNjhGSlU5QzlUQ0VOJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA2Mzk4MzdUNEVSVkpFMkwwVFomd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 It's real. There is another one for the same price. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It blew me away because a external HD is maybe $400 these days. Wonder how well it might work to store ortho Scenery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhrogPhlyer Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I have seen these type of "too good to be true" deals for years.

Barkingside Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Ships from China and sold by qingqugehoushang. What could go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexbo47 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Spend a little more and get a reputable brand. I've had good luck with Western Digital and Samsung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
