2/4/8/16TB USB-C 3.1 Drives from $20-$50. Are they legit? Looking for something to upgrade my 2TB mechanical external drive.

  Cheers. Just got through reading some eBay reviews and it seems to be the case. Not sure why I thought these would be legit being so cheap. Oh well….

They are a legitimate SCAM.

Should be good for 2/4/8/16GB.

Must be legit as it's on ebay……. Paypal will be happy to resolve any problems you find after buying it.
