The Cheap Hard Disk...

So you buy a 500GB hard disk for an incredibly low price.  The salesman demonstrated it to you in the store, saving a file to it – so you know it works.  Then you bring it home and discover that you can't save any large files.  What's going on?

The hard disk is a fake.  It's just a 128MB flash disk mounted inside a false hard disk case (click to enlarge photo at right).  That's just 1/40th the size you thought you bought.

This is really happening...
