jaclaz Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Maybe it was a fake one. There are many 1Gb and above USB drives that are actually much smaller. The Chinese seem to like these sorts of scams.Yes, if you have a look at http://www.everythingusb.com/forums/you'll find hundred of reports of "smart" people buying LARGE sticks from "occasional" sources, like some e-bay auctions, for a SMALL price and later find that the stick is a fake one.But I thought that the smallest was 16 Mb, not 8Mb, so maybe this is not the case.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
