Following the link provided, read the specification and it says "Hard Disk Interface : USB 1.1".
So, is this USB 1.1 device disguised as USB3.0 device ? If yes then good luck transferring 20 TB data using USB 1.1 speed.

I would set up system like you have with a NAS and much faster drives. Usb 1.1? Are they joking?

A 20TB is only marginally larger than 2 of the 11 drives in my NAS...16TB and 18TB.
The drive is the same, just the interface may be different.

And I'm not entirely sure about that 1.1.
Could be just a mistake in Amazon.
