More often than not, it's usually a pitiful amount of flash storage (e.g. 256MB, 4GB, 16GB) with the firmware flashed to make it report its capacity to the OS as "60TB". It could be a small microSD card to USB adapter hotglued to the chassis with a piece of lead to give it that "premium"-feeling weight. When you write data to it, it will eventually fill up and loop back to the beginning, and it writes over the data that was already filled, which ends up with data corruption.

Not a single retailer does anything about this, and this scam has been ongoing for years. Some customers don't come close to filling up the true storage capacity before it loops, so they remain under the impression that it all works fine and end up leaving positive reviews, perpetuating the scam.
