So that would make a lot of sense to me. Remember what I said in my earlier post. I would check your drive out. Here is one I found from Google.

Meaning that most of the storage isn't real at all. And I tested them under Windows and Windows will not complain one bit. You can save all you want too until it thinks it has reached the full capacity. Although with a fake, it has a long time ago. Thus most of the saved files won't really be there. I should try one under Linux. I bet Linux will be fooled by them as well. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Windows XP SP3

They report a higher capacity than what they really are. Thus some of the capacity is real and some (usually most) of it isn't at all. No other country except China are making them. As no other country is stupid enough to try to sell them. Well Nigeria probably would if they were smart enough to learn how to manufacture them in the first place. As they are only smart enough to produce email scams. Which is about the level that almost any five year old could do. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Windows XP SP3 |
