Issues with 2TB mini NAND USB2DISK USB Device

[ookwudili]

Recently bought the aforemention 2 TB storage dongle.

The other morning stopped working, the device was zeroed and all data lost..

Any pointers on how this could be re-established without sending it back to the vendor?

Have already tried several third party partition managers, the drive wont even allow access through command line window..

details of the order can be found at;

A 2TB USB for ~$15? Fake. Simple as that. Faked firmware to make it 'appear' as 2TB.

$750 or so would be the absolute minimum for ONE TB Flash Drives..... I don't believe 2TB's exist.

You've probably got like an 8GB or (maybe) 16GB drive there.

PSA from Gamers Nexus on these specifically:

Agreed, you won't even be able to fit 2TB into that form factor.

Good luck getting cash back from a dodgy Chinese company.

Hope you paid through paypal to raise a complaint and do it with Ebay too.
