[Resolved] KINGSTON 32 GB PEN DRIVE — IT'S A FAKE PEN DRIVE. | |
I HAVE BOUGHT KINGSTON 32 GB PEN DRIVE FROM UNKNOWN PERSON, WHEN I BOUGHT IT, I JUST CHECKED ITS CAPACITY WHICH WAS SHOWING PERFECT, BUT AFTER A USE WHAT I KNEW... 1. The data in the pendrive got corrupted due to bad sectors. 2. On coping pictures I found out that only till 512MB of data was intact, the rest got corrupted. 3. Formatting the Pendrive was of no use. 4. I tried using windows Disk Check utility to see whether the bad sectors could be recovered but the program used to hang on initiating it. 5. On opening the pendrive I saw the PCB was in a pretty bad condition. 6. Only a 512MB RAM Chip was used in the PCB. I AM NOT ONLY THE PERSON FACING THIS PROBLEM, LOTS OF PEOPLES FACING THE SAME PROBLEM... NOW TO WHOM I CAN GIVE THE COMPLAIN FOR THIS CHEATING HAPPENED WITH ME...

Yes this is true. This happened in ITC Infotech, bangalore on 26 August 2009.
Actually this is a 512mb pen drive but through software they manupulated to 32GB but you can see only 512mb of data.
So do you want to pay 500/- for 512mb? Think...

All, first thing first WELCOME TO THE CLUB
This happened to me and all my colleagues in office. Two hindi speaking men (their slang indicates that they are somewhere from the delhi, haryana area), duped close to 50 IT professionals (super techies infact). No kidding, it is true. They sold us 32GB Kingston Traveler pen drive, for just Rs.500/- a piece. Some fool in my office, saw them selling outside our campus and the news spread like fire and all the other fools stormed out to get cheated (that includes me as well). We infact tried to strike a deal with them for Rs.400/ a piece since we are buying in bulk. They did not agree to it, for them it was selling like hot cakes. We could not believe it and felt something fishy. We immediately send some of them back into the office with the pendrives to check if it worked, our guys smartly formatted it and even copied a 1GB file into the pendrive and confirmed that it works. All o[censored]s were glad to get 32GB for Rs.500/, we all were under the impression that these folks would have flicked a carton of these pendrives from somewhere in the port when the shipment arrived and thought that these men did not know the actual value for it. They sold all the pieces, they had something about 200 pieces. That's quite some money for a one hour business.
A little while later we realized that we were able to only copy a max of 1GB file into the pendrive and as soon as you unplug and plug it back into someother pc, there is only few MBs of the file felt in the drive. A disk dump of '0' also did not help, it always showed 32GB when queried through fdisk. The PCB board was definitely not damaged as someone mentioned here, but yes it just had a 512MB chip.
1) Is Kingston responsible for this?
Absolutely no, there are 1000 fakes in the market and they cannot stop all.
2) What can you do?
Every time you buy something, ensure that you buy from a genuine dealer/vendor who can give company 'warranty' on the product (not just his verbal one).
3) What else can you do?
Pass on the message to others, so that they atleast don't get fooled.

I have also been duped at Delhi for 64 GB Kingston Data Traveller. You should try to format it in Windows Vista or download patch KB-955704 from Microsoft Downloads for Windows XP. Then it will get farmatted in exFAT (FAT 64) filing system. However never copy more than 1GB as is its actual capacity. and it will work only in Vista or XP with above patch.

All, first thing first WELCOME TO THE CLUB
This happened to me and all my colleagues in office. Two hindi speaking men (their slang indicates that they are somewhere from the delhi, haryana area), duped close to 50 IT professionals (super techies infact). No kidding, it is true. They sold us 32GB Kingston Traveler pen drive, for just Rs.500/- a piece. Some fool in my office, saw them selling outside our campus and the news spread like fire and all the other fools stormed out to get cheated (that includes me as well). We infact tried to strike a deal with them for Rs.400/ a piece since we are buying in bulk. They did not agree to it, for them it was selling like hot cakes. We could not believe it and felt something fishy. We immediately send some of them back into the office with the pendrives to check if it worked, our guys smartly formatted it and even copied a 1GB file into the pendrive and confirmed that it works. All o[censored]s were glad to get 32GB for Rs.500/, we all were under the impression that these folks would have flicked a carton of these pendrives from somewhere in the port when the shipment arrived and thought that these men did not know the actual value for it. They sold all the pieces, they had something about 200 pieces. That's quite some money for a one hour business.
A little while later we realized that we were able to only copy a max of 1GB file into the pendrive and as soon as you unplug and plug it back into someother pc, there is only few MBs of the file felt in the drive. A disk dump of '0' also did not help, it always showed 32GB when queried through fdisk. The PCB board was definitely not damaged as someone mentioned here, but yes it just had a 512MB chip.
1) Is Kingston responsible for this?
Absolutely no, there are 1000 fakes in the market and they cannot stop all.
2) What can you do?
Every time you buy something, ensure that you buy from a genuine dealer/vendor who can give company 'warranty' on the product (not just his verbal one).
3) What else can you do?
Pass on the message to others, so that they atleast don't get fooled.

I have also been duped at Delhi for 64 GB Kingston Data Traveller. You should try to format it in Windows Vista or download patch KB-955704 from Microsoft Downloads for Windows XP. Then it will get farmatted in exFAT (FAT 64) filing system. However never copy more than 1GB as is its actual capacity. and it will work only in Vista or XP with above patch.

ITS A FAKE PEN DRIVE.
I HAVE BOUGHT KINGSTON 32 GB PEN DRIVE FROM UNKNOWN PERSON,
WHEN I BOUGHT IT, I JUST CHECKED ITS CAPACITY WHICH WAS SHOWING PERFECT,
BUT AFTER A USE WHAT I KNEW...
1. The data in the pendrive got corrupted due to bad sectors.
2. On coping pictures I found out that only till 512MB of data was intact, the rest got corrupted.
3. Formatting the Pendrive was of no use.
4. I tried using windows Disk Check utility to see whether the bad sectors could be recovered but the program used to hang on initiating it.
5. On opening the pendrive I saw the PCB was in a pretty bad condition.
6. Only a 512MB RAM Chip was used in the PCB.
I AM NOT ONLY THE PERSON FACING THIS PROBLEM, LOTS OF PEOPLES FACING THE SAME PROBLEM...
NOW TO WHOM I CAN GIVE THE COMPLAIN FOR THIS CHEATING HAPPENED WITH ME...

2. On coping pictures I found out that only till 512MB of data was intact, the rest got corrupted.
3. Formatting the Pendrive was of no use.
4. I tried using windows Disk Check utility to see whether the bad sectors could be recovered but the program used to hang on initiating it.
5. On opening the pendrive I saw the PCB was in a pretty bad condition.
6. Only a 512MB RAM Chip was used in the PCB.
I AM NOT ONLY THE PERSON FACING THIS PROBLEM, LOTS OF PEOPLES FACING THE SAME PROBLEM...
NOW TO WHOM I CAN GIVE THE COMPLAIN FOR THIS CHEATING HAPPENED WITH ME...
ISN'T RESPONSIBILITY OF KINGSTON TECHNOLOGY TO FIND OUT THE CHEATERS & STOP THERE ACTIVITIES.

All, first thing first WELCOME TO THE CLUB
This happened to me and all my colleagues in office. Two hindi speaking men (their slang indicates that they are somewhere from the delhi, haryana area), duped close to 50 IT professionals (super techies infact). No kidding, it is true. They sold us 32GB Kingston Traveler pen drive, for just Rs.500/- a piece. Some fool in my office, saw them selling outside our campus and the news spread like fire and all the other fools stormed out to get cheated (that includes me as well). We infact tried to strike a deal with them for Rs.400/ a piece since we are buying in bulk. They did not agree to it, for them it was selling like hot cakes. We could not believe it and felt something fishy. We immediately send some of them back into the office with the pendrives to check if it worked, our guys smartly formatted it and even copied a 1GB file into the pendrive and confirmed that it works. All o[censored]s were glad to get 32GB for Rs.500/, we all were under the impression that these folks would have flicked a carton of these pendrives from somewhere in the port when the shipment arrived and thought that these men did not know the actual value for it. They sold all the pieces, they had something about 200 pieces. That's quite some money for a one hour business.
A little while later we realized that we were able to only copy a max of 1GB file into the pendrive and as soon as you unplug and plug it back into someother pc, there is only few MBs of the file felt in the drive. A disk dump of '0' also did not help, it always showed 32GB when queried through fdisk. The PCB board was definitely not damaged as someone mentioned here, but yes it just had a 512MB chip.
1) Is Kingston responsible for this?
Absolutely no, there are 1000 fakes in the market and they cannot stop all.
2) What can you do?
Every time you buy something, ensure that you buy from a genuine dealer/vendor who can give company 'warranty' on the product (not just his verbal one).
3) What else can you do?
Pass on the message to others, so that they atleast don't get fooled.

I have also been duped at Delhi for 64 GB Kingston Data Traveller. You should try to format it in Windows Vista or download patch KB-955704 from Microsoft Downloads for Windows XP. Then it will get farmatted in exFAT (FAT 64) filing system. However never copy more than 1GB as is its actual capacity. and it will work only in Vista or XP with above patch.

These guyes just struck the RMZ Campus in Ulsoor. The guys sold about 20 pieces and got away with the money...only read this after!
Bangalore watch out for these guys who sell fake pen drives.
i have faced the same problem
We bought the USB from a guy we met in one of the top malls in cochin. The guy sold the USB for 1000rs to us. We later figured out from the shop keepers there that they bought the same for 500rs. They said a courier guy came and said he got a missaddressed courier and he want to sell off the consignment. A little bit of bargain and everypeople ended up buying 3 and 4 USB’s for Rs 500 from the guy.
The problem is that the USB dosent work properly. You can transfer data upto 11GB and more than that the transfer hangs. There is also problem recovering data from the USB. If you stop the transfer the USB renames itself into some symbols and all the files and folders also get corrupt and has strange file names.
We are trying to find out a solution to this as lots of my friends bought the same. The guy usuallly approaches Offices and Malls and says the same thing. So next time somebody comes to you! Guys Beware. DO not BUY!
FORTUNATELY i didn't not pay for the pen drive so i returned it back...

Be aware of Fake Kingston 32 GB pen drive
Hi ... me too experienced the same,
2 guyz approached me and told they have 32 GB pen drive and they can give it for 500
(initially told Rs.1300). The package looked original so before buying we tried to check
whether its working or not, He gave us 3 pieces to us to check and come when plugged to the PC all 3 showed 31.2 GB of free space. In the mean while
1 of my friend searched in the Google and reported about this blog.
Thanks for the comments, we have not bought the fake Kingston 32 GB pen drive.
(we have a thought of buying 2 pieces)

kingstone 32 gb pendrive — not working
i m having a pen drive ok kingstone which shows no properties when conect to pc this is happening from when i droped it Now this has entered Mumbai as well. Unfortunately i searched about it over the net only after giving him money and secondly we had bought three for Rs 1000 each. Not so surprisingly 32GB is not manufactured in that category itself ie data traveler 101 and the colours available has none as black which i bought. This is what we say " Sasta Mahenga Pada"

I bought 16 GB pen drive with Kingston Technology trade mark print at Pallika Bazar, New Delhi.
The trader showed me that 16 GB data could be loaded by plugging the gadget into his computer.
It looked genuine.
But when I loaded data entries from my computer, I found the data entered were void and the
gadget is a fake one.
These gadgets are mostly manufactured and sold in Delhi
