I know someone who bought a 256GB thumbdrive in Bali for only $28 – the seller even had a laptop set up which “proved” the capacity was 256GB when you plugged the thumbdrive in.
Suffice to say, the buyer was a little disappointed and embarrassed when they got back home and discovered it was actually a 512MB
Kinda wonder why you’d bother really… a 2.5″ bus-powered 320gb hard drive is what, 1/10th of the price?
And as for the durability battle… I think you’d be more woried about wrecking a $1,200 thumb drive than a $200 hard drive.
