Does this flash drive look like it would hold up longer than a month and is it a legit drive/company? Cause i want to store about 150GB of MP4's on it for my RPi.

 

Thanks!

Seems kinda sketchy and fake to me. I might consider something else from a named brand, and USB 3.0 as those 150 GB take a long time to transfer on USB 2,0.

Just so you know, there are ways with software and hardware to manipulate storage devices to show an invalid amount of space. What happens in this case is when it reaches the ACTUAL (instead of 250gb it's like 16gb) size, it will begin corrupting files without the user even noticing the difference.

 

For a size comparison, take a look at Kingstons 256gb or 512gb devices or another trusted brand like A-data, SanDisk, etc etc. You'll see the difference in size.

This is 256 GB and its Prime and also look at samsung SSD's. The EVO is 250GB and the Pro's are 256GB i think, or the other way around. IDK thanks for the info.
