    It’s probably a new plan to make USB sticks a subscription based system. You want access to your data? That’ll be 19.99 a month.

      Nah, this is just garden variety chinesium product fraud. Unfortunately, you can make a bit of coin putting out drives that misreport the physical space available, especially if it takes a while for the purchasers to notice what they actually bought. It’s even worse when you’re looking into getting bulk orders for swag drives. Because those tend to be a race to the bottom for prices, and it’s all but guaranteed to be a good while before the drives get a real test, so it’s that much easier to get away with. And worst case, you get caught and have to make up a new white label company to sell the same trash to consumers.
