500 mini usb

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Oh, I know what you mean.

Every year, our school offer's USB Flash Drives to students.

For the past five years, they have been getting cheaper, and large in storage.

They're up to 4GB for $50 HKD.

but the wierd thing is when i plug the usb into the computer, why it showes 500 GB? how can they do it?

Inside the drive is a fake controller chip, programmed to report 500 GB.

Why? To make money.

At first, I was sceptical that they made 500GB Flash drives, which is why I asked earlier:

Nice. A 500GB Flash Drive. What brand is it?

At first, I was sceptical that they made 500GB Flash drives,

Fusion-io makes SSD (solid state drive) cards in 160GB, 320GB and 640GB capacities. A 1.28TB card is expected out in the second half of this year. Current pricing is quoted as "well under $30" per usable GB, which makes the biggest current card "well under" 19,200 dollars. How much "under" is a good question, since pricing is probably a matter for negotiation based on size of order. So only very specialist users will be using them.

They are not pen drives or memory cards as this picture shows.

We didn't change it, we developed it. We informed the OP that he or she almost certainly had a fake, and then we went on to discuss big flash drives. I myself posted a jolly interesting picture.
