!important! … do *not* buy 32gb pen drives …


Hello ...
A friend calls ... invites me for a coffee ...
I go meet him ... and he asks me to give him some movies ...
He threw across a pen drive ... I caught it and had a look ...
God damn it ... it was small 32GB pen drive ... a SONY ...
Compared to the 8GB cruzer that i carry around ...
The 32GB pen was like enormous ... capacity wise ... hehe ...
I was impressed ... and wanted to ask him for more details ...
But i didn't get time ... i had to leave ...
Later ... i come home ... copy some movies on to the SONY ...
On the way to return the pen I meet this techie buddy of mine ...
I show him the 32Gb pen ... hoping he would be impressed too ...
Feeling sorry that I had that pen ... he explained ...
The 32Gb pen was a serious piece of crap ...
You can apparently see files being copied to it ...
But the files are corrupted and cant be used ...
I didn't believe him ... and checked it out ...
Holy shit ... he was right ... I couldn't open any files ...
It said something like data corrupted ... or truncated ...
Sulking ... I fired up my HEX editor ...
I'll be damned ... just a bunch of zero's ...
The pen wasn't writing any data on to it ...
It was just writing a shit load of zero's that can't be used ...
I called up my friend and let him know what I've learned ...
All he wanted to do was call the seller and ask for a refund ...
So guys ... I know there are some cheap 32GB pens going around ...
Don't fall for it ... check it out really well ...
Before you cough up your hard earned cash ...
Laterx ...

thanx. I heard abt this w weeks back. a friend tol me that some place is selling 32gb pendrive. when I found out the place its xeon computers. the moment I knew which place is selling it I had doubts abt it. the guys there r a bunch o idiots. specially aathi. the marketing guy there. they sell windows vista saying its genuine but have to crack it. hehe how can vista be genuine when cracked. not only that any software.

The same thing is hapenning to me. I just got this Sony Vaio 32GB Pen Drive form China. I can copy the files to the pen drive but when I put it on my second computer I saw that many of the files were gone. This is like a nightmare. The pen drive was also quiet expensive.
