I haven't kept up on the prices of this stuff to know if this is in line
with the market but any time you see a crazy good deal on flash
card/thumb drives be wary, this stuff is a prime target for
counterfeiters. They fake the packaging so it looks like a brand name,
and program the card to tell the computer it's a 200GB card, so when you
pop it in it all looks good, but it really has only 20GB or maybe even
just 2GB of actual storage.

For this kind of thing I would only buy from an established major
retailer. Their supply chains are probably legit. On ebay or amazon, or
at a local convenience store or gas station, you have no idea.
