I bought a cheap 2TBmicro SD card…

[isoceptic]

The biggest giveaway is that it doesn't say 1.83 TB

The point is they modified a controller on the sd card to report fake value, you can upload how much you want but if size of files exceed real storage value it will start deleting files so you may experience slow transfer speeds, and files that are deleted are still gonna show up but you wont be able to access them

[pwrdprompt]

Common data storage scam, normally they will give you a 64gb chip and sometimes some malware on the side. Report the seller if possible.

[ThriftyArtist-jm]

Not only that but all your files would corrupt

[Tijdperkzuid]

here's the hack, they lie about the capacity, you buy it, test it with software, it will be in the 32/64 gb range, then do a complain, get you money back and no need to send back the card. now you got a free 32/64gm micro sd

[alphanerd]

There's actually a utility designed to test SD cards and other external storage devices to probe their real sizes.

You are lucky, because sometimes you can copy "all" of your 2 terabites of data on to the SD card. But they will be unreadable.
The filesystem will have the info where they should be, and what the filenames should be, but there wont't be any data to read behind the filepath.
At least this happened to me after transferring 500GB of pictures to my "1 TB" 2 dollar SD card. I saw the filenames and folders but all of them were corrupt. :'D

Worth a shot though. :)

So many people have tried this before the sd just tricks your pc into thinking its 2tb and just corrupts/overwrites the existing files

[WybrowTab]

funny thing is 80gb SD cards cost waay more than $6 so thats a win.

[osmosis_]

You could have saved some time and just run H2testw. It's not even a 1tb mSD. Probably a 64gb fake. Scanflash also works.

I love these videos because they're like the "Did I just discover perpetual motion?" videos. The answer is always no

[NoNamicekk]

I don't think it's even real Lenovo...

[edwardmaged]

The error said "because it is too large for the volume's format" meaning even if it is real 2TB (which is not for sure) it wouldn't copy because the format of the sd card would not accept large files. For example the FAT32 format would be 4GB file but if the format is NTFS the max file size would be 256TB. So if you want to really see what the real capacity is, format it to NTFS.

[enderspider]

Copying files is not a good way to test it. Some SD cards will let you copy over ANY file size, but will basically corrupt the oldest one to make room for the new files. Itll appear as if it copied over everything but once you try to open anything... its all bricked

[Atom.Tech.]

Printing and packaging material crying out loud that i am not what you looking for.🤣

[jjohns]

Take a closer look at that error message. It can't be copied because it's too large for the volume's FORMAT. You can "successfully" transfer the 40GB file, so I'm willing to bet you could make 4 copies of the "40GB" folder and transfer all of those onto the card. However, what the manufacturer has done is hacked a tiny control chip in the card to tell it to report to the computer that it's a 2TB capacity card.

The card will either simply discard any data sent that fills up past whatever its actual capacity is, or it'll start writing over the data that was previously written. There is dedicated software out there to check for this, by writing data to various points along the card, then trying to read it all back and seeing what parts have written correctly and which parts haven't. It'll then tell you the ACTUAL capacity of the card, which as many other commenters have stated, is probably in the 32-64GB range.

Manly trying to kms will always be funny XD

[SeekAviation]

when you ask a gamer how many files he downloaded:

[mayureshjadhavmj]

Bro, error is not that it's full but may be your single file is more than 4GB SO format like FAT does not support.

Try formating as NTFS and try again

I bought two 4TB NVME's like 4 months ago for $25 each, same thing. PC said 4TB each, but when pooled together, I could get to about 125GB before they wouldn't read OR write. Gave up and bought a 2TB MP33 PRO, nowhere near the 'same' space, but so far, not a single issue. Knock on wood!
