I bought 2 brandless SSDs from China; and tried to Format them to Ext4. They were 15TB+. The other is definitely bad; had an Input/Output Error. This one also looks out-of-order ― just wanted to make sure that what is written there in the end, about missing software - is just a generic suggestion, and can't really be true. Am I correct?
