What did you buy?

The largest Crucial and Samsung external SSDs are 4 TB. I am thinking you might have gotten a scam drive (not having the capacity it claims).

  It would certainly be possible to cram a few M.2 SSDs into one external case, together with the necessary circuitry to concatenate them, but it would be quite expensive. Sorry you had to find out the hard way that one is too good to be true and I hope you can get your money back.

  Hello Obiwan_
  
  Could you please check the Snapshot and backup capacity your NAS is having.
  
  Also, Please disable Quota, audit, and File search, then reboot the NAS and check if you are facing the same issue.
  
  Have a lovely day,
