EATOP “1TB” flash drive: fake capacity confirmed

What the first check found

This drive was sold as a 1TB flash drive on TikTok Shop. Windows and other software can report a drive’s claimed size without checking whether all of that space can actually hold data. We ran ValiDrive to check that claim.

In the September 19 scan, the drive declared 1,014,706,995,200 bytes (1.01 TB). ValiDrive reported 139,411,918,848 bytes (139 GB) as validated and listed the same point as its highest valid region. In other words, this check did not support the advertised capacity.

H2testw: the full write exposed the false capacity

After the ValiDrive screening scan, I started H2testw on this unit. The full write stage covered 967667 MByte and completed after 54 hours, 1 minute and 52 seconds at an average of 4.97 MByte/s.

Verification continued for another 87 hours, 45 minutes and 35 seconds. At the final recorded checkpoint, H2testw had verified 226355 MByte at only 734 KByte/s, with more than 287 hours still estimated to remain.

H2TESTW FINAL CHECKPOINT VERIFICATION / 226355 MB

Final recorded checkpoint before verification was manually concluded after the capacity claim had been decisively disproven.

The final checkpoint lists 130.1 GByte OK and 90.8 GByte DATA LOST. The lost-data total includes 4.0 GByte overwritten, 86.8 GByte corrupted and 40 KByte of aliased memory. The first error remained at offset 0x000000208a260000.

My final take

This purchased unit is a fake-capacity drive and should not be trusted with important files. It appears to contain approximately 128GB of physical storage while falsely reporting approximately 1TB to connected devices. Once data moves beyond the working region, files can be corrupted, overwritten, or lost. I do not recommend it, and I am not providing a purchase link.
