I acquired a WD6003 6TB HD. To my surprise it was formatted with a 16TB capacity. How is that possible? And how is it done?
Fake Hard drives can report any capacity they want to … they have a chip inside them to fake the capacity.
If you try to copy 16TB of data to it, it’ll look like it’s doing it … but when you unplug the hard drive, and plug it back in later the data will be not be there.
This is not a fake HD. I swapped this drive out for a legitimate ISP in a secured facility. When looking at the properties it says that it is SCSI. Physically it is SATA
Device SCSI\Disk&Ven_WDC_WD60&Prod_01FSYZ-01SS7B1\7&35401adf&0&000000 was configured.

Did you find any solution? USB\VID_174C&PID_55AA is a Physical drive. Is it WDC or ASMedia Technology SATA bridge? Here it is listed as USB\VID_174C&PID_55AA, ASMedia Technology SATA bridge
