    If it’s a SSD, it might. They are overprovisioned for wear-levelling, reducing write amplification, and remapping bad physical blocks.

    I wouldn’t trust one off of Wish, but any reputable consumer brand will be overpovisioned by 2-8% of the rated capacity. For 1 TB, it would take an entire 9% to match the rated capacity in base-2 data units instead of SI units, but enterprise drives might reach or exceed that figure.
