Metal Pen drives 64GB,USB flash drives 2015

The $33 buy now not only signifies the high possibility of fake capacity but the drive is also a copy of an HP V285W



Airbrushed area were the logo has been removed is discernible.
also has Phone Number listed in auction

pavel1231 had his fake sony drive withdrawn so he changed his fake 1TB `Kingston` Drive before TM yanked that one too.
Now it has magically become a 256GB size and the screenshot image has been removed.

It's not a new listing... just a relist of the withdrawn auction. Conveniently for the seller that means...

Oops, there was a slip up!

You have already placed a complaint about this

Thanks TM! Of course, concerned parties might use the seller's other auction to lay a complaint.

Godofwar40000 is a glutten for punishment. Although TM removed his previous fake "1Tb flash drive" listing, he's back for more. Remember that genuine drives in this capacity cost around $1,500 - this time he only wants $50 each for the fakes.

Godofwar40000 is a fool. TM have withdrawn two of his fake 1Tb drive auctions but he still hasn't learned his lesson. Here he goes again!

Note that it's only an 8Gb drive.

TM won't let me complain on the auction again. Could someone else post this link in a CW complaint please?

Another Generic Drive 256GB at $1 Reserve that is certain be fake capacity

256GB Flash drive USB & Micro USB
http://www.trademe.co.nz/computers/exte ... 081510.htm
- Sold for $46 -

I have to laugh at the specs of this drive...

Capacity- 256GB
Write speed- 3.10MB/Sec

A quick calculation of 256,000MB (256GB) divided by the write speed of 3.10MB/Sec means if this was a real capacity drive it would take over 82,500 Seconds or nearly 24 Hours to fully fill up the drive with data .

Genuine 256GB drives such as this kingston have a write speed of well over 100MB/s

Poor faded packaging with no Capacity printed and no Hologram & no legitimate retailers matching the packaging means Toshiba never made this drive



The 64GB and Toshiba printing are not aligned correctly and are in a different font
