Until Monday, Walmart shoppers could grab an incredible deal: a massive solid state hard drive (SSD) for the incredible price of $17.99. Often, similar drives go for much more, depending on their size. Generally, a TB of storage on an SSD can cost between $50 to $100.
A cybersecurity researcher bought the same item from AliExpress and took it apart. Walmart removed the hard drive after Motherboard contacted the company.
