Clearly it is junk. Fake SSDs are advertised all over the internet, including lots of fakes on Amazon and Walmart. Because you need to save money, get a spinning USB hard drive like this one: https://www.walmart.com/ip/WD-2TB-Drive-for-Chromebook-Portable-External-Hard-Drive-WDBB7B0020BBL-WEWM/1666474468 2 TB for $85. It's a lot slower when saving but fine for viewing and retrieving photos and videos. With the extra space you can take and save more videos. Get a brand name drive from WD, Seagate or Toshiba. Better yet, get two and use one for backup. Any drive can fail at any time! There is no one "best" brand. There are many fake brands. P.S. It's not just for Chromebook. It works with any PC.
