Oddly enough, back in the PSP1000/2000 era, I had acquired a 2GB Sony Memory Stick Duo, literally bent in the middle about 45⁰ or so similar to the bend angle in the post photo.
The friend that gave it to me knew it couldn't fit in his PSP bent like that, and neither of us expected it to work, so he just donated it for my junk parts bin.
Well, I decided to just try bending it back flat, and believe it or not, it worked just fine! I used it for like 3 years to install custom firmware and homebrew on a number of PSPs back in the day.

Bravo! 👏 👏 👏

The compression of the data in the bend is superb.

But if you've got large files in the "Trashcan" it won't empty! Defragmentation won't help either - you'd need a filesystem fragmentation tool.

Come on, man. All you need to do is learn some PCB repair. A couple of bodge wires should fix it.

This but unironically

That's why you don't order drives off of Banggood. They come in banged good.

what do you mean?

Packaging say's 500gb, w*windows shows a 200gb disk.
Obviously what you see in file explorer as a disk is just a single partition on the disk that could be a lot larger, but that's besides the point

It's clearly because the drive can't access the rest of the storage around the bend.

I bet if you tilted the computer ever so slightly to match the bend, Windows would show more available space.

I know you're joking but with Windows you never know.

Am I? Are you sure? 😂

Not anymore no

It's just partitioned incorrectly.

I just automatically assumed they had grub booting a Linux OS on the rest and this was there partition for some application required for work/school

Obviously. I've never heard of a spherical partitioner.
