Be warned:
Those are scams. Cheap 1TB USB sticks do not exist. They will display in your computer as 1TB by tricking your OS. They are usually 2GB of real size, but you cannot trust usb like that, for storing actual data not even for few GB they actually give you.
This USB will also pretend to write data to it and throw it away. People lost their backups because they assumed this USB was real.
Source: I bough one, analyzed it and researched the topic.
You can get 1TB USB sticks for like 7 Euro at AliExpress. So if you ever need 8GB, shop there.
And support a gross company. No thanks.

Yeah, sure, let’s try actually storing more than… hmm… I’ll be generous and say 16GB of data and see what happens 0-0
It is rather trivial to flash the firmware on the USB to have it report as whatever capacity to the OS.
That was the joke.

I don’t trust my data on garbage from alie
AliExpress wouldn’t be assembled in the EU, surely?
They will label the drives for minimal additional cost, just make them print “assembled in EU”.
And surely that would be falsely labelled, right? That price per GB is insane. You mean €70?
I’m pretty sure that was the joke, considering the final sentence.
Oh, I thought they meant “so 8 GB would be even cheaper”.
I wooshed hard.
