Portable SSD HDD?

[TravelBandit]

Why is that no local (SA) supplier seems to have portable SSD hard drives such as the ones I see on multiple foreign sites - small (not much bigger than a USB stick) but with capacities of 1 or 2 Tb? These are easily obtainable overseas for around ZAR 500, but local operations only have 250-500Gb SSD portable drives, and then for thousands of Rands. What am I missing? Why is nobody importing these?

And I've seen them on Wish.com too. But perhaps the "fake Chinese special" is correct. I haven't bought one so I don't know
