    Wouldn’t buying directly from SanDisk eliminate the risk of fakes?

      Directly from sandisk should be fine, but just want to point out that’s not the same as sandisk on a marketplace such as Amazon. There’s some arrangements where Amazon will combine bins of a same product and let oem lots mix with reseller lots. Sometimes knockoffs get mixed in to legit lots. Amazon can make exclusive bins for a price, of course

      Perhaps. But it seems the Chinese versions might be a bit cheaper. (nevermind, it seems the prices are just higher with both now) Also I don’t know about shipping to Slovakia.

      Anyway, I just checked it. After visiting the website, they redirected me to European version. I searched for Ultra Shift, I got the result, clicked on it, 404: https://www.westerndigital.com/en-ie/products/usb-flash-drives/sandisk-ultra-shift-usb
      Nice…
