Crazy Chinese scams. Anyway, I was starting to wonder how far behind I had fallen behind in hardware prices.  | ||

Yea, if there is no feedback, you take a huge risk of being scammed, sad to admit it but it's the truth. | ||

I did a little research, it seems like the 128GB drive may be a 2GB or 4GB chip that displays 128GB, so when you write more than say 4GB on it, it disappears... I assume most people don't notice until it's too late. | ||

They use the low capacity/defective flash chips that get caught by quality control (if they have any) and add in a special chip to display it as 128 or something. But it will still act as a low quality low capacity flash drive just fine. You might even fit starcraft on it. | ||
