Last week I came across the following drive that claims to be from Sony. It is in silver black colours and has markings saying it is a 32GB / USB 2.0 flash drive.
Being an editor of a gadget blogs like this, I should have come across such a device earlier. Unfortunately, I didn’t. Then I researched about it and found this page.
This drive looks awesomely original and even shows you it can hold 32GB when connected to PC. It will even copy data. However, when you try reading back the same data, you will learn that it became corrupt. This drive just writes some binary code instead of the data and shows that as much space is in use.
As far as I can learn, this pen drive is a total fake from China. Somebody found the requirement of a cheap 32GB drive would drive sales of such a crappy device. I must say that if you are not a geek you may fall in this trap.
In short, if you found such a device, never buy it.

i have exactly the same one 120GO, shows 118GO, same problem.
Yes, i’ve got to agree only due to the fact that i was duped once after purchasing a fake pendrive which was 32G size.hence forth i was able to copy the data but could not read from it”it came up with an error when tried to connect to the any system and the system would restart again.however i have concluded that it was indeed fake one.
i have a similar experience in 8 GB , it shows 7.87 memory but have only 1 GB .don’t get cheated,,,,,,,,,,,,
