I saw this product in shopee. The 2TB price is unbelievably low at RM127.12 (normal 2tb price is at least RM250). Which makes me think if this is actually fake. However based on the comments and it says that it has 3 years international warranty which does seem genuine.

Has anyone bought it and test if it is indeed 2TB HDD?

Below is the link.

Look at the numbers sold (212 already )
and genuine reviews. (4.8 star by 102 people)

Scam? You decide.

if too good to be true, then avoid. and dont trust review, many ppl review before unboxing or use the products one. dunno why so many sohai like this

"best!!!"
"fast delivery"
"memang terbaik!!!"

at least unbox first, use for a couple of day only leave review la doink

The problem here is why there is so many reviews assuming they did not make a purchase.

A lot of review on packaging but not the item itself.

If it's too good to be true, then it's probably fake.

And I always have issues with the way people leave online reviews. They are usually not relevant to the product they purchased, talk about delivery but not the product, haven't use but leave reviews anyway, etc.

Probably 5 stars review is from ppl connected to the seller to mask the 1 star rating.

Cheap tactics.

Lucky didn't buy.

Curious why NTFS not supported. Sounds like a USB flash drive inside. All HDD can use NTFS regardless of capacity.
