Buying Flash Drives and Memory Cards Online is Often a Bad Idea
November 9th, 2012
According to the linked article, there is a serious problem with counterfeit (and defective) flash drives and memory cards, and many times they’re indistinguishable from the real thing. Occasionally they are even sold unknowingly by reputable retailers! The best we can do is to avoid purchasing them online, especially from eBay. Of course, buying them online directly from the manufacturer is not an issue.
