No one makes fake hard drives that report fake capacities though. At most in that market they might reset the SMART data to hide how long it has been on. There is a huge market for fake name brand SSDs that are just SD cards 1/10th the stated capacity and tons of flippers and other scammer assholes who sell them in convincing looking packaging.
