Just a warning to everyone, that if you've spotted doods at robots or street vendors selling 32GB usb flash drives with Kingston/transend lable and packaging.
These are more than likely fakes. A few colleges have made the mistake of buying these.
(I laughed though since this has been going on for the last 2 years already, just before it was the 512mb being sold as 2gb ect)
They will also show as 32gb when u plug them in,
but as soon as you try to copy large files, u'll notice than only 1 or 2 gigs actually get onto the drives. Sometimes an error wont even be reported, you'll just notice later that the file haddn't coppied.
If you've already been scammed however, theres a tiny bit of good news.
You can replace the hacked firmware on the drive and return it to its true/original 2gb capacity, so at least its not a total loss.
