8Gb Ebay Memory from Hong Kong

You might think that paying a tenner (£10) is cheap for an 8Gb samsung memory pen drive. Of course it is - but guess what… I ordered 2 of them from ebay and they were both defective. DO NOT ever buy cheap memory from ebay cos it doesn’t work.

To test them out, I just put an avi file and tried to play it. All I got was a blank corrupted video. On the item description it says 10 years of memory retention but it would have been much better if they said 10 seconds memory retention :).

Do not get blinded by the cheap price cos in the end it turns out to be more expensive!

UPDATE:

Here is the reply I got from the seller:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Sorry to hear that. Please try to make sure that the files format is formal.

Note: sometimes some unconfirmed files will attack the device,
it may even the the memo corrupted. so please be care of this problem.

Now that’s a mouthful. What the heck is a formal file?
Attack the device? Are these some kind of alien files? That is funny!
