20 Gb in Kingston and other makes are easily available in the market. they are fake ones and they didnt even have serial numbers engraved on them and details also. The system shows 20 Gb but when you try to copy the data it will not and even if starts the copy the data will get corrupt. These are chinese made available around 600 rupees. My friend bought them and gave to me so i can copy the movies and songs to them , but to no use and he even got a replacement within hour of purchase and everytime same problem

I have come across some Chinese stuff which display the memory as 4GB, but after a single formatting, it reverts back to 1GB or something lesser. How do they manage to display such figures initially on the drives?

Is that some form of trickery or did your HDD really go kaput?
