Fairly short video from me again but there is the usual rambly bits in this one so if you need to use Timestamps to skip through, they are integrated into the video.
======================================================

Greetings and welcome to another installment in the iWish series, a series in which I purchase various questionable products to see if they are any good...most of the time they are not but I buy this stuff so you don't have to!

I found this while browsing AliExpress but I think I showed this on Stream and you folks wanted to see it so thank you to those folks, I do appreciate you all so much and I was curious about this - even though I said I wouldn't buy more.

It's because ALL the other ones I've looked at have been EXTERNAL SSDs. This is an Internal one with a SATA interface.
That's the part I was curious about.
We all know it wouldn't be 4TB for $40 AUD but have they put a Micro SD on a board again or something...that's what I wanted to find out!

You all know the drill here, stick with reputable companies and manufacturers and if it's too good to be true then it likely is.

I am taking a slight break at the moment so I've slowed down with videos but I'll catch up soon.
This was an easier video to work on so it was fine.
