- Why do people trust eBay flash memory sellers in the United States?
- How do people discover they have false capacity flash memory?
I bought the card and loaded it with (or so I thought) about 21 GB of Videos and pictures and sound files for use on my Palm LifeDrive. When I went to play the files, the were all in the file list, but only some of them would play. I found that only about 8GB of data was actually on the card. The file names were all there, but there was no data in the files, and when I actually checked the folders my computer showed most of the folders as being empty.
Does this observation describe your experience with a purchase of a flash memory card on eBay?
Fake memory cards are no different from fake capacity mp players or usb flash drives. The usb controller chip and the flash storage chip have been manipulated to lie about real capacity. There are many techniques to “upgrade flash memory”, one of them is to reserve space to record the file and folder name so they appear to be there. You need to know that once the real capacity of a flash storage chip is exceeded, there is no place to write the file, no space.
US eBay sellers are famous for trying to con you into believing the item is ‘defective’. Upgraded flash memory is not defective, it is digitally altered to lie about true flash storage capacity. The programme that will help you learn the truth? H2testw. Use it. Test. It is free to use. It was developed to help people find out the truth about flash memory storage chips.
