What it concludes

Extremely cheap high-capacity external SSDs found on Amazon, such as 2TB or 16TB drives for under 40 or 100 dollars, are scams utilizing modified low-capacity storage and fake firmware capacities.
Review merging is a common scam tactic where sellers take an existing listing for a cheap, high-volume product and abuse listing edits to replace it with a fake high-ticket item while retaining old reviews and ratings.
Amazon's cost of compensating victims of scams is often lower than the cost of preventing them in the first place, leading to lax enforcement against these sellers.
