SOSFakeFlash has been concentrating on flash drives for data storage. We are aware that the same issue exists for MP Players on eBay. Many Players sold do not have the advertised capacity. They can be “hacked” just like usb storage drives or memory cards. After all, it is a flash chip that holds the files and software can easily reprogram the controllers to lie about size. The principals to digitally alter the flash drive chips are the same.
