This is really cheap, and a bit too skeptical

buy limit is 3.

120GB for 11 USD

its a compromised seller dont buy. ive bought one before but it was sandisk and it turned out to be a compromised seller. luckly i got my money back. and it was the same price as this one too.

also look at this ad closely. they ripped it off the newegg listing on ebay only newegg would add the limit x number per customer thing.

a friend of mine recently got a sandisk micro SD card for some stupid price like $10, package said it was a 256GB SD card, linux told us it could only store ~25GB worth of data (and after that starts to overwrite itself)

hmmm, that isn't too bad... right? 10 dollars for 25gb, not too bad.

except it reports as a 256GB card, so if you're not manually formatting it to size, it's basicly self-corrupting.

 

not to mention it was slow as hell too.

a while back there was a scam around... if i recall the details it was 500GB WD blues for like... a tenner (see a pattern here...)

 

someone bought one knowing it was a scam, and decided to gut it. gutting resulted in finding a sata to usb converter, and a 4GB USB stick plugged into it.

how most of these "scams" work is they pick up manufacturing rejects (for example 32GB micro SD cards that have a large amount of broken sectors, resulting in only 25GB of usable storage), they flash the controller to make it think its some stupidly large amount of storage, and rebadge it as an actual product.
