That's weird, doesn't happen to me. In fact, I have two separate 
profiles in firefox, one for looking in Amazon without login, and 
another profile where I login. This way I avoid they pestering me with 
mails about what I searched.

Sometimes, when opening the uk or the .com amazon pages they ask me to 
fill a captcha.

I looked at the reviews at the Amazon.es site, they were acceptable, 
more so than other alternatives :-D

Funny, when I try your link, it asks ME to login!

I had to open instead the https://www.amazon.co.uk/ page first, then 
search for the product number in your link, "B08DLTKXCP", which is not 
the same one as I got, which is "B083Q8Z2KM". Mine is 6 GBps, while this 
one is 10GBps. This one has daisy chain USB, mine doesn't.

You also have to be careful with the review, because they bundle several 
models, namely the one that has internal raid. It happens when the same 
page in Amazon has two or more model, which you choose pressing a button 
just below the initial description.

On each review there is a text that says "Size Name: USB3.0 RAID". The 
correct one would have "Size Name: USB3.1 Type C Daisy..."


If I click on "see more reviews", it asks for my login. I did not 
continue :-(


Something has changed at Amazon :-/
