USB Flash Drives

I recently purchased a 64GB Flash Voyager from Amazon. When I went to use it, I looked at it's properties. It told me that it was only 32GB. I was surprised as I have always had good experiences with products purchased through Amazon. I contacted them and they gave me an RMA.

So now, I'm gun-shy about purchasing another after Goggling "counterfeit USB Flash drives". Especially the larger drives.

Does anyone guarantee their drives before shipping? Who sells reliable USB flash drives?

it pays to buy from reliable retailers if you want a warranty or guarantee.
buying from ebay or amazon will have some risks.

Ok, well that video told me nothing. All I could understand was 'GB' and only saw them open some cases full of flash drives.

This is a Chinese rig stocking up fake USB flash drives.

Where do they get them? I wonder what would happen if there was no crime for a month
