12 TB external USB-C SSD "mini" drive on Newegg...good or bad?

[coolbreeze2]

Are you all seeing these 12 TB external USB-C SSD "mini" drives? They are less than $50. Are these real? They are selling on Newegg, which I believe is a reputable site. They are being shipped from China, which raises my eyebrows (or should that be a concern). What do you all think?

1. It might be covered by the NewEgg Marketplace Guarantee

Newegg Marketplace Purchase Protection - Newegg Knowledge Base

With the Newegg Marketplace Guarantee, if you meet the requirements, you may be eligible for reimbursement of the purchase price of any item you purchase from a Newegg Marketplace seller.

2. But if there is a problem you might have to ship it back to China. Lots of gotchas there.

3. The price of a 16 TB SSD (with enclosure) from Sabrent is $2889.

4. So totally bogus. You might have fun seeing what happens if you order it.

Only purchase items from a known and reputable seller with a clearly defined return policy and good reviews. This is a 3rd party reseller with no reviews or history.

I doubt there exists a 12tb flashdrive...

12TB Flash drive? We barely have single NAND chips with 1TB on them and those are an arm and a leg.
