The worst attempt at fake flash media I have ever seen...

Just found this little gem on amazon and it has to be one of the worst fake flash media attempted coverups I have ever seen. Here are a few quotes from the listing:

 

"16gb upgraded to 256GB USB 2.0 flash drive. Hot plug and play. Functions like another hard drive."

 

"Using the H2testw can destroy the flash drive memory causing the software test to show that the flash drive is counterfeit or fake"

 

Yep, totally a real drive!

 

Just thought this was pretty funny.

Plus you know that the 5 star reviews are fake just by the way their written. 

 

"Love it"

 

"Reliable. Thank you"

 

"Great memory for a great price"

 

The people who made this must have been really desperate.

"Steel swivel lid never gets lost. More than 10 years data retention."

 

Ahh! That makes sense the "Steel swivel lid" retains the data! (By the way, this lid will get lost instantly, I have hundreds of the real 16GB drives I got for free and every lid fell off within days.
