Those come with malware so be careful. Even if you reinstall a fresh os you have no idea what the firmware is doing.

Already answered by Rentlar so I will just say
Why does that thing use an i9
Some potential things:
- Holdover from 32bit era computing (some info on that on Windows)
- The disk is formatted to FAT32, max supported size is 2TB
- The storage controller can only recognize disks up to a certain size
- The manufacturer offers a variety of SKUs, the highest storage they have on offer is 2TB
- filler text or just copied from somewhere
It would probably be the storage controller chipset.
But given the number of errors I see just skimming that page, I wouldn't trust any of those specs.
